System and method for adapting virtual machine configurations for hosting across different hosting systems

摘要

Some embodiments provide a method for a server hosting environment that includes several nodes, where each node is for using one or more hypervisors in order to host several configurations of several computer systems. The method receives a first configuration of a particular computer system. The first configuration accesses a first set of virtual hardware provided by a first hypervisor of a first node. The method generates a second configuration that is based on the first configuration. The second configuration is operable on a different second hypervisor of a second node in the several nodes. The method installs the second configuration on the second node. The second configuration accesses a second set of virtual hardware provided by the second hypervisor to host the second configuration using the second hypervisor.
