Cloud Platform for Networking: Virtual Machine Migration: V2P
V2P is the inverse operation of P2V that the operating system, application, and data are migrated from a VM to a physical machine. In particular, a VM can be migrated to one or more physical machines, though the virtualization is expected to transform the physical machine as VM. For example, some bugs of the applications on the VM must be verified on the physical machine. Additionally, it is difficult to configure a new workstation, but the virtualized application can help to solve this problem via P2V. However, this approach has two limitations: the image must be mounted on the same hardware infrastructure, and each changed configuration is saved by renew the image. V2P migration can be completed manually, but it is better to simplify the operation assisted by the migration tools, such as PlateSpin Migrate, 14 especially in the case of involving various different hardware.
