OPTIMIZED VIRTUAL MACHINE MIGRATION

摘要

A virtualization computing platform may host a virtual machine. The virtual machine may be hosted by a first set of resources of the virtualization computing platform. A second set of resources for hosting the virtual machine may be identified. The second set of resources may comprise resources of the virtualization computing platform that are distinct from the first set of resources. At least a portion of a plurality of files associated with the virtual machine may be copied from the first set of resources to the second set of resources. A virtual memory swap file may be identified from among the plurality of files associated with the virtual machine. Based on identifying the virtual memory swap file as a virtual memory swap file, the virtual memory swap file may be treated differently from one or more other of the plurality of files associated with the virtual machine.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
hosting, by a virtualization computing platform, a virtual machine, wherein the virtual machine is hosted by a first set of resources of the virtualization computing platform; identifying a second set of resources for hosting the virtual machine, the second set of resources comprising resources of the virtualization computing platform that are distinct from the first set of resources; copying at least a portion of a plurality of files associated with the virtual machine from the first set of resources to the second set of resources; identifying a virtual memory swap file from among the plurality of files associated with the virtual machine; and based on identifying the virtual memory swap file as a virtual memory swap file, treating the virtual memory swap file differently from one or more other of the plurality of files associated with the virtual machine.
