Abstract: The methods and systems described herein provide a solution that allows the necessary drivers to be automatically injected into a restored or migrated virtual machine. In one solution, using an access node installed in the destination virtual cloud environment, the required drivers are injected into a restored operating system volume/disk after the source VM has been restored/migrated to the new environment. In another solution, a customized machine image is created comprising of tools necessary to determine and install necessary drivers during migrations. This machine image is then used to create an intermediary virtual machine that determines and injects the necessary drivers needed for the source VM to properly function with the destination hypervisor.
