  • Method and manager physical machine for virtual machine consolidation
    Patent number: 8745234
    Abstract: A method and a manager physical machine (PM) for virtual machine (VM) consolidation are provided. The method is performed by the manager PM. A network connects the manager PM and a plurality of server PMs. A plurality of VMs is running on the server PMs. The method includes the following steps. The manager PM classifies the server PMs into redundant PMs and surviving PMs. The manager PM determines migration paths of the VMs running on the redundant PMs to the surviving PMs. The manager PM determines a parallel migration sequence of the VMs running on the redundant PMs based on the migration paths. The manager PM migrates the VMs running on the redundant PMs to the surviving PMs in parallel according to the parallel migration sequence.
