Abstract

See full text

Techniques for migrating a virtual machine (VM) from a source host system to a destination host system, where the VM is associated with a source virtual disk file (VMDK) residing in a local storage component of the source host system, are provided. In one embodiment, a virtual infrastructure (VI) server in communication with the source and destination host systems can create a proxy VMDK in a local storage component of the destination host system. The proxy VMDK can include information usable by the destination host system for remotely accessing the source VMDK over a client/server connection. The VI server can then cause an execution state of the VM to be transferred from the source host system to the destination host system, without transferring the source VMDK between the host systems.
