Abstract
Various systems and methods for performing clustering operations in distributed systems are disclosed. For example, one method involves performing a clustering operation that uses a virtual machine (VM). This VM is hosted by a first node. The method involves receiving an indication that indicates a migration of the virtual machine from the first node to a second node. The method also involves, in response to a receipt of this indication, suspending performance of the clustering operation using the virtual machine. The method can also involve resuming performance of the clustering operation using the virtual machine in response to receiving an indication of a successful migration of this virtual machine.
