摘要:
Techniques for placement of a virtual machine in a computing system. A first request is sent from a pool management subsystem to a placement subsystem. The first request includes specification of available storage capacities of storage systems in a computer network. The placement subsystem automatically determines a target storage system based, at least in part, on the available storage capacities. An identification of the target storage system is received at the pool management subsystem. At least one disk image of the virtual machine is written to the target storage system. Then, a second request is sent to the placement subsystem. The placement subsystem automatically determines a target computer. The latter determination is based, at least in part, on connectivity between the target computer and the target storage system. The virtual machine is installed at the target computer. The techniques facilitate live migration of virtual machines placed thereby.
