1. A method for assigning memory available for high availability (HA) failover, comprising:
- determining the memory available for HA failover in at least one failover host computing system of a HA cluster; and
assigning, at a first level, the memory available for HA failover to one or more virtual machines in the HA cluster as input/output (I/O) cache memory.

Abstract
Techniques for assigning memory available for high availability (HA) failover to virtual machines in a high availability (HA) cluster are described. In one embodiment, the memory available for HA failover is determined in at least one failover host computing system of the HA cluster. Further, the memory available for HA failover is assigned to one or more virtual machines in the HA cluster as input/output (I/O) cache memory.
