Abstract
To migrate a virtual machine from a first physical machine to a second physical machine, a hot-plug event notification is issued to an operating system of the virtual machine in response to an indication that the virtual machine is to be migrated. After issuing the hot-plug event notification, migration of the virtual machine to the second physical machine is performed.
