Abstract:
Virtual machine migration is described. In embodiment(s), a virtual machine can be migrated from one host computer to another utilizing LUN (logic unit number) masking. A virtual drive of the virtual machine can be mapped to a LUN of a storage array. A LUN mask associates the LUN with a host computer. The LUN mask can be changed to unmask the LUN to a second computer to migrate the virtual machine from the host computer to the second computer.
