Abstract: Techniques for monitoring guest domains configured with alternate I/O domains are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for monitoring guest domains configured with alternate Input/Output (I/O) domains comprising, installing cluster services in a control domain, installing cluster services in one or more alternate I/O domains, configuring, using at least one computer processor, an alternate service group to monitor services from multiple I/O domains, and configuring a logical domain service group, wherein the logical domain service group manages a guest domain which receives I/O services from either the control domain or the at least one alternate I/O domain which are monitored via the alternate I/O service group.
