Virtual machine migration based on the consent by the second virtual machine running of the target host

摘要

A system, method, and computer program product for controlling migration of a VM operable on a first site and a second site. The system includes an identify component for identifying the second site; a request component for sending a consent request message to a software component, wherein the consent request message comprises at least one of an identifier of the VM and an identifier of the second site; a calculate component, operable on the software component and responsive to receiving the consent request message, for determining consent for the second site; a send component, responsive to a positive determination, for sending a consent message; and a migrate component, responsive to receiving the consent message, for migrating the VM from the first site to the second site.

主权项

1. A data processing system for controlling migration of a first virtual machine (VM), comprising:
a processor; a data storage coupled to the processor; and program code within the data storage and executable by the processor to control migration of the first VM at a first site to a second site, wherein the program code includes:
an identify component that identifies the second site;a request component that sends a consent request message to a plurality of software components including a second VM running at the second site, wherein the consent request message includes at least one of a set including an identifier of the first VM and an identifier of the second site; anda migrate component that, responsive to receiving consent messages indicating consent of the plurality of software components including the second VM to the migration, initiates migration of the first VM from the first site to the second site.
