Live migration, also called migration, refers to the process of moving a running virtual machine (VM) or application between different physical machines without disconnecting the client or application. Memory, storage, and network connectivity of the virtual machine are transferred from the original guest machine to the destination.
Virtual machine cloning; 4.2 Sep 13, 2012: Virtual machine groups – allows management of a group of virtual machines as a single unit (power them on or off, take snapshots, etc.) Some VM settings can be altered during VM execution; Support up to 36 NICs in case of the ICH9 chipset; Support for limiting network I/O bandwidth
Copying files: Making copies of files is the simplest and most common way to perform a backup. A means to perform this basic function is included in all backup software and all operating systems. Partial file copying: A backup may include only the blocks or bytes within a file that have changed in a given period of time.
Physical-to-Virtual ("P2V" or "p-to-v" [1]) involves the process of decoupling and migrating a physical server's operating system (OS), applications, and data from that physical server to a virtual-machine guest hosted on a virtualized platform.
A virtual machine is less efficient than an actual machine when it accesses the host hard drive indirectly. When multiple VMs are concurrently running on the hard drive of the actual host, adjunct virtual machines may exhibit a varying and/or unstable performance (speed of execution and malware protection).
Upload a local virtual machine to vSphere 7.0. Download a remote virtual machine running on vSphere 7.0 to the local desktop. Performance Improvements: Improved file transfer speeds (Drag and Drop, Copy and Paste) Improved virtual machine shutdown time; Improved virtual NVMe storage performance. Improved Accessibility Support
Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Originally developed by Connectix, it was acquired by Microsoft prior to release. Virtual PC is Microsoft's related desktop virtualization software package.
vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) is the centralized management utility for VMware, and is used to manage virtual machines, multiple ESXi hosts, and all dependent components from a single centralized location. VMware vMotion and svMotion require the use of vCenter and ESXi hosts.
