Abstract
To migrate a virtual machine from a first physical machine to a second physical machine over a network, execution of the virtual machine in the first physical machine is stopped, where the first physical machine contains data associated with the virtual machine. State information of the virtual machine is copied from the first physical machine to the second physical machine, and execution of the virtual machine is started on the second physical machine based on the copied state information.
