Abstract

See full text

A method for identification of a destination server for VM migration from a source server across a network is provided. The method comprises generating a profile for a virtual machine (VM) located on a source server, wherein the profile includes a plurality of parameters and a plurality of parameter constraints. The method further comprises polling a plurality of servers located on a network for values of the parameters and corresponding weights. It is determined whether the VM requires migration. Upon determination that migration is required, the method comprises identifying one or more destination servers located on the network that satisfy the parameter constraints, creating an ordered list of the one or more destination servers based on the corresponding weights if more than one destination server are identified, selecting a destination server from the ordered list, and migrating the VM to the selected destination server.
