System and method of recovering from failures in a virtual machine

A system for recovering from failures in a virtual machine, comprising:

• a first physical host, the first physical host comprising:
• a host operating system;
• a management module in communication with the host operating system;
• a virtual machine running on the host operating system and in communication with the management module, the virtual machine operable to:
• run a program;
• and
• run an agent operable to communicate to the management module one or more parameters associated with the program, each parameter having a predetermined acceptable range;
• and
• the management module operable to:
• determine if the one or more parameters associated with the program running on the virtual machine are within their respective predetermined acceptable ranges;
• and
• in response to determining that the one or more parameters are not within their respective predetermined acceptable ranges, cause the application running on the virtual machine to be restarted.

An information handling system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
• a management module communicatively coupled to the memory and the processor;
• and
• a host operating system running on the information handling system and having a virtual machine running thereon, the virtual machine in communication with the management module and operable to:
• run a program;
• and
• run an agent operable to communicate to the management module one or more parameters associated with the program, each parameter having a predetermined acceptable range;
• and
• the management module is operable to:
• determine if the one or more parameters associated with the program running on the virtual machine are within their respective predetermined acceptable ranges;
• and
• in response to determining that the one or more parameters are not within their respective predetermined acceptable ranges, cause the application running on the virtual machine to be restarted.
