  • Patent number: 11194620
    Abstract: Systems and methods for preferential treatment of a prioritized virtual machine during migration of a group of virtual machines from a first virtualized computing environment to a second virtualized computing environment. A data structure is allocated to store virtual machine migration task attributes that are associated with a plurality of in-process virtual machine migration tasks. As migration proceeds, the migration task attributes in the data structure are updated to reflect ongoing migration task scheduling adjustments and ongoing migration task resource allotments. A user interface or other process indicates a request to prioritize migration of a particular one of the to-be-migrated virtual machines. Based on the request, at least some of the virtual machine migration task attributes are modified to indicate a reduced scheduling priority of some of the to-be-migrated virtual machine migration tasks so as to preferentially deliver computing resources to the prioritized virtual machine migration tasks.

  • Patent number: 11188368
    Abstract: Systems and methods for workload migration control. Migration control operations commence upon identifying a workload comprising two or more virtual machines to be migrated from a source computing environment to a target computing environment. A migration process initiates migration of the two or more virtual machines to the target computing environment. After the migration process has begun, a user identifies a prioritized virtual machine from among the two or more virtual machines that are in the process of being migrated. In response to receiving the user input, a migration manager suspends progression of selected virtual machines while accelerating progression of the migration of the prioritized virtual machine that is not suspended. The migration of the re-prioritized virtual machine preferentially receives computing resources.
