ABSTRACT:
In response to determining that a computing device to which one or more storage volumes within a storage-area network (SAN) have been assigned has satisfied a shutdown criterion, the storage volumes within the SAN are unassigned from the computing device. The storage volumes within the SAN are assigned to a cold-spare computing device, and the cold-spare computing device is booted from one of these storage volumes. Such computing device failover can be provided even where the computing devices are not clustered and even without employing virtualization.
