INTELLIGENT VIRTUAL MACHINE (VM) RE-LOCATION |
摘要 |
Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for re-locating virtual machines (VM) in a data center environment. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for intelligent VM relocation includes selecting a set of VMs for relocation over a data communications network within a data center from one or more source physical machines to one or more target physical machines. The method also includes computing in memory of a computer in the data center a VM mobility cost for relocating the set of the VMs. The method yet further includes determining whether or not the VM mobility cost exceeds available resources in the data communications network. Finally, the method includes relocating the set of the VMs only it is determined that the VM mobility cost does not exceed the available resources of the data communications network. |

1. A method for intelligent virtual machine (VM) relocation comprising:
selecting a set of VMs for relocation over a data communications network within a data center or across data centers, from one or more source physical machines to one or more target physical machines; computing both a VM running cost for accommodating the set of the VMs and a VM mobility cost for relocating the set of the VMs; determining whether or not the VM mobility cost exceeds available resources in the data communications network; and, relocating the set of the VMs only it is determined that the VM mobility cost does not exceed the available resources of the data communications network and that the VM running cost does not exceed the available resources of the physical machines. |
