Abstract
A logical container may be created to facilitate the quick and efficient migration of one or more virtual machines from a source server to a destination server. The logical container may contain all of the files and state information related to the one or more virtual machines. The one or more virtual machines may be migrated by dismounting the logical container from a source server and mounting the logical container to a destination server. A management service may be include to facilitate batch migration of multiple virtual machines from a source server to a destination server.
