Abstract: A first server and a second server use a virtual address to mount the storage synchronous area in a storage by the NFS. The first server obtains a snapshot of memory content of a virtual system operated as an active system and transmits the snapshot to the second server. The first server replicates content of the storage synchronous area in the storage to a storage synchronous area in a storage. When a failure occurs in the first server, the second server sets a virtual address to the storage and uses the virtual address to mount the storage synchronous area in the storage by NFS. The second server uses the snapshot received from the first server to execute the application on the virtual system.
