Abstract
A system and method for using a local virtual disk for a virtual machine may include establishing a local virtual disk on a storage device of a host machine. The system and method include creating an access table and a location table. The access table includes access values indicative of data being accessed. The location table includes location values indicative of a location of the data in the local virtual disk or a shared storage space. A transfer of data between the local virtual disk and the shared storage space is done using the access table and the location table. The data is accessible in both the local virtual disk and the shared storage space based on the one or more location values of the location table and access to the data is based on the one or more access values of the access table.
