Abstract
A system and method include migrating virtual machines (VMs) between compute only (CO) and hyper converged (HC) nodes. The method includes identifying, by a management processor of a virtual computing system, a plurality of virtual machines hosted on compute only (CO) nodes in the virtual computing system. The management processor then identifies hyper converged (HC) nodes having virtual disks hosting data for the plurality of virtual machines hosted on CO nodes. When a virtual machine (VM) in the plurality of virtual machines is migrating, the management processor biases the VM to migrate to a first HC node hosting a virtual disk assigned to host data for the VM.
