High availability across geographically disjoint clusters

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a first virtual infrastructure management (VIM) server monitoring a first host device to determine if the first host device receives one or more messages within an interval of time from a first storage device indicating a failure of one or more logical disks within the first storage device. The first VIM server manages a first virtual datacenter including the first host device and the first storage device. A second VIM server manages a second virtual datacenter including a second host device and a second storage device. The logical disk is replicated on the second storage device. The first VIM server determines, that a plurality of virtual machines running on the first host device is dependent upon the logical disk(s). The first VIM server performs, in response to the dependency upon the logical disk, a failover of the virtual machines to the second host device.
