Related works Design Choices Implementation Handling Local Resources Design Overview Testing the Implementation Benchmarks Future Work Conclusion Goal To find a quick and efficient way to transfer services between physical servers. Challenges Minimizing downtime. Keeping total migration time down. Avoid disrupting active services. Benefits of Migrating Virtual Machines Instead of Processes Avoids residual dependencies. Can transfer in-memory state information. Allows separation of concern between users and operator of a data center or cluster.

Broadcasts ARP new routing information Some routers might ignore to prevent spoofing A guest OS aware of migration can avoid this problem Local storage Network Attached Storage Design Overview Tracking Writable Working Set Xen inserts shadow pages under the guest OS, populated using guest OSs page tables. The shadow pages are marked read-only. If OS tries to write to a page, the resulting page fault is trapped by Xen. Xen checks the OSs original page table and forwards the appropriate write permission. If the page is not read-only in the OSs PTE, Xen marks the page as dirty.
