1. A method, comprising:
creating a first data object group including a plurality of remote data objects that represent a same first virtual machine and are registrable on at least a first node cluster and a second node cluster of a set of peer DMS nodes;
creating, in the second node cluster, a second data object group comprising a first remote link to a first remote data object associated with the first virtual machine and a second remote link to a second remote snappable relating to a second virtual machine;
designating the second virtual machine as an overall active member of the first data object group and the second data object group; and
assigning a task to the overall active member to be completed using the first remote link and the second remote link, wherein the task is associated with a failover operation or an instant recovery of the first virtual machine.
