Abstract

A method and system that manage upgrades in a high-availability computer system by viewing the upgrade process as driving the system between a succession of stable configurations. The mechanism used by a described embodiment is an availability manager that is capable of ascertaining the state of each component and driving it toward a goal state by driving toward a succession of desired stable configurations. A high-level orchestration agent instructs the availability manager when a stable configuration has been reached and it is time to drive toward a next stable configuration.
