US Patent 9047248 Logical domain recovery

Recovering logical domain processes from a virtual production environment to a recovery environment by building recovery automation scripts. The process, partially automated and partially guided by an administrative user, captures logic necessary for orderly recovery, but also permits the user to specify certain configuration information for the recovered logical domains. A first step before building recovery script(s) is to execute a capture script on the production environment to retrieve configuration information for the production logical domains. Based on this captured output, a recovery script builder then starts to build one or more recovery script(s). To account for unavoidable inconsistencies between the production and recovery environments, the user is guided through a deterministic process of providing additional information, such as different resource mappings, so that the script builder may further address such differences.
