  • Patent number: 11461199
    Abstract: A redundancy method includes that a first disaster management function (DMF) device on a first site side receives a first request including identification information of a first virtual machine (VM) and a recovery point objective (RPO), allocates a maximum allowable delay time to each node that input/output (IO) data of the first VM passes through in a redundancy process, and sends a second request to a second DMF device on a second site side. The second request includes a maximum allowable delay time of a second replication gateway function (RGF) device on the second site side, and a maximum allowable delay time of an IO writer function (IOWF) device on the second site side and requests the second site side to perform redundancy on the first VM.
