I only have experience with VMware - there it is really simple:

1. Install exactly the same version with the same parameters on the new host.2. Copy the VM image to the new host.

That's it.

With other vms it should not be too different.

thank you sir for your rply but i want to migrate vm from one host to another in cloudsim

sorry sir i didnt mentioned it

Hello,

in principle the procedure should be similar:

1. Configure the new VM identical to the old one.

2. Copy your application (is there an image file?) to the new VM.

That should do.

Hallo Dreher,

I tried to read the configrations of vms,hosts, cloudlets using csv file. This configurations doesnot help me to print the migrated vms . could u suggest a beter way to make the configurations that triggers migration. Thaks in advance

help?

I'm sure there's even more to be found when searching RG...

Dear Dreher,

Thanks for reply , i could collect data from VmAllocationPolicyMigrationAbstract.java class for migration and load detection.

I tried to customize the configurations of hosts,vms and cloudlets to trigger migrtaion using static threshold that are read them using csv file. All the configurations of components could not help to trigger migration. Could you suggest how to give input for configurations to reach migration stage. I could find workload traces from google and cloudlabs but the configurations defined in those files are different to data mentioned in my customized file(csv file). My customized files look in the bottom manner

Host file(Host_id, ramsize,storage,bandwidth, pesnumber,mipspe)

vm file(vm_id, mipspe,pesnumber,ramsize, storage,bndwidth).

cloudlet file(cloudlet_id,length,pesnumber,filesize,outputfilesize).

Initally i declared 5 hetrogenous hosts configurations, 8 hetrogenous vms and 15 cloudlets with different resources it could produce result but cannot reach to migration. Tried to reduce vms but the result is same. Is the method of giving input is not proper or need to make any changes. Thanks for your patience for going through and for your reply.
