Abstract
A mechanism for system-wide target host optimization in load balancing virtualization systems is disclosed. A method of the invention includes detecting a condition triggering a load balancing operation, identifying a plurality of candidate target host machines to receive one or more operating virtual machines (VMs) to be migrated, determining a load per resource on each identified candidate target host machine, and scheduling all operating VMs among all of the identified candidate target host machines in view of an expected load per resource on each candidate target host.
