Abstract: A hypervisor exchange, e.g., an upgrade, can include consolidating resident virtual machines into a single host virtual machine, exchanging an old hypervisor with a new (upgraded) hypervisor, and disassociating the virtual resident virtual machines by migrating them to the new hypervisor. The consolidating can involve migrating the resident virtual machines from the old hypervisor to a guest hypervisor on the host virtual machine. The exchange can involve: 1) suspending the host virtual machine before the exchange; and 2) resuming the host virtual machine after the exchange; or migrating the host virtual machine from a partition including the old hypervisor to a partition hosting the new hypervisor. Either way, an exchange (upgrade) is achieve without requiring a bandwidth consuming migration over a network to a standby machine.

Abstract translation: 虚拟机管理程序交换（例如升级）可以包括将驻留的虚拟机整合到单个主机虚拟机中，与旧的（升级的）虚拟机管理程序交换旧的虚拟机管理程序，以及通过将虚拟驻留虚拟机迁移到新的管理程序来解除虚拟驻留虚拟机。 整合可以涉及将驻留的虚拟机从旧虚拟机管理程序迁移到主机虚拟机上的客户机管理程序。 交换可能涉及：1）在交换之前挂起主机虚拟机; 和2）交换后恢复主机虚拟机; 或将主机虚拟机从包含旧管理程序的分区迁移到托管新管理程序的分区。 无论哪种方式，都可实现交换（升级），而不需要通过网络迁移到备用计算机的带宽消耗。
