Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A computing device comprising:
a memory comprising machine executable code; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the processor to:
perform a baseline configuration replication during a first phase of a two phase replication, wherein a baseline package capturing attributes of configuration objects of a primary virtual machine at a primary node is created and replicated to a partner node as a baseline configuration;
perform a second phase of the two phase replication by:
creating a replication stream to comprise a series of updates performed upon a component configuration by the primary node; and
transmitting the replication stream to the partner node to apply to a corresponding component configuration on the partner node;

evaluate the replication stream to detect a discontinuity in the replication stream involving a loss of updates, wherein the discontinuity is detected based upon a determination that there was a failure to capture a configuration change on the primary node; and
reconcile the corresponding component configuration on the partner node with the component configuration of the primary node to recover from the discontinuity.
