Abstract
Methods, apparatus and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that enable a computer system comprising networked computers to self-heal from a boot failure of one of the computers. In some embodiments, upon detecting a first computer failing to successfully load a first boot image, a second computer configures the first computer to boot a second boot image. Subsequent to configuring the first computer, the first computer is power cycled, and upon the power cycling, the first computer loads the second boot image.
