Abstract

Cloud computing is an evolving technology which provides reliable computing resources as a utility rather than having to build and maintain computing infrastructures in-house. Today users and organizations wants to migrate from physical system to a virtual cloud instance. In other words, users want to migrate a traditional operating system, pre-installed on their physical system into a virtual machine instance running on Cloud. Most of the time user requires instance configuration to be exactly same as that of his/her personal physical system. In this paper, we have implemented a process of migration of physical system to virtual OpenStack cloud instance. We have achieved this with the use of system images of the physical system and created a semi-automated script. The script is available at following website: https://sites.google.com/site/physicaltovirtualmigrationofos/

CGC '13: Proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Cloud and Green Computing

We propose a post-copy hot cloning mechanism to reduce service downtime of physical to virtual (P2V) migration. The conventional P2V migration requires to copy disk images from a physical to a virtual machine with stopping the system to ensure the ...
