Abstract

Control over servers and partitions within a computer network may be automated to improve response to disaster events within the computer network. For example, a monitoring server may be configured to automatically monitor servers through remote communications sessions. A disaster event may be detected based on information received from the partitions and servers within the network. After a disaster event occurs, the monitoring server may automatically execute a script or take other action to make a backup server or partition available. For example, the monitoring server may stop and deactivate a first partition that has failed, activate a second partition that is a mirror image of the first partition, and start the second partition.
