Abstract

Techniques involving replication of virtual machines of virtual machines in a clustered environment are described. One representative technique includes receiving a replication request to replicate a primary virtual machine. A clustering broker is configured to act on the replication request on behalf of a cluster of recovery nodes, by at least placing a replicated virtual machine corresponding to the source virtual machine on a recovery node and facilitate tracking the migration of the replicated virtual machine within the cluster. The clustering broker returns an address of the recovery node that has been placed or found through tracking for the particular virtual machine.
