Abstract

To minimize any downtime in virtualized and cloud environments, a seamless migration of the Virtual Machine (VM) and associated resources needs to be completed without affecting the user experience in the case of any load balancing, system failures, or system maintenance. When a VM is migrated from one server to another server, the namespaces that the VM has access to also need to be seamlessly migrated. This presentation is an overview of capabilities being investigated by NVMe to support a host controlling the migration of a VM and the namespaces used by that VM to a different controller where that controller may exist in a different server.
