    Abstract: Examples provide a method of migrating a multi-process virtual machine (VM) from at least one source host to at least one destination host in a virtualized computing system. The method includes: copying, by VM migration software executing in the at least one source host, guest physical memory of the multi-process VM to the at least one destination host; obtaining, by the VM migration software, at least one device checkpoint for at least one device supporting the multi-process VM, the multi-process VM including a user-level monitor (ULM) and at least one user-level driver (ULD), the at least one ULD interfacing with the at least one device, the ULM providing a virtual environment for the multi-process VM; transmitting the at least one device checkpoint to the at least one destination host; restoring the at least one device checkpoint; and resuming the multi-process VM on the at least one destination host.

    Abstract: A plurality of virtual machines (VMs) is migrated from a source group to a destination group in such as way as to achieve consistency and either availability or group preservation. Execution of VMs in the source group is selectively delayed during state migration so that memory transfer of all the VMs in the group will converge roughly at the same time. After VM state transfer to the destination group, execution switch-over is coordinated using different handshake and acknowledgement messages, passed either through a “leader” VM in each group, or directly between source-destination VM pairs.

    Abstract translation: 多个虚拟机(VM)以这样的方式从源组迁移到目的地组,以便实现一致性以及可用性或组保存。 源组中的VM的执行在状态迁移期间被选择性地延迟,使得组中的所有VM的存储器传输将大致同时收敛。 在VM状态转移到目标组之后,使用不同的握手和确认消息来协调执行切换,通过每个组中的“leader”VM,或直接在源 - 目标VM对之间传递。

    Abstract: A method of managing a network file copy (NFC) operation, includes the steps of: transmitting a request to execute a first NFC operation on at least a first data store, wherein the first NFC operation comprises creating a full copy of a file that is stored in the first data store; after transmitting the request to execute the first NFC operation, determining that the first NFC operation should be stopped; and based on determining that the first NFC operation should be stopped: transmitting a request to stop the first NFC operation, selecting a second data store, and transmitting a request to execute a second NFC operation on at least the second data store, wherein the second NFC operation comprises creating a copy of at least a portion of the file.

    Abstract: A method for migrating a virtual machine (VM) includes establishing a first connection to a first cloud computing system executing a first VM, and establishing a second connection to a second cloud computing system managed by a second cloud provider, which is different form the first cloud provider. The method further includes instantiating a second VM designated as a destination VM in the second cloud computing system, and installing a migration agent on each of the first VM and the second VM. The migration agents execute a migration process of the first VM to the second VM by (1) iteratively copying guest data from the first VM to the second VM until a switchover criteria of the migration operation is met, and (2) copying a remainder of guest data from the first VM to the second VM when the switchover criteria is met.
