Abstract
Embodiments may be generally directed to techniques to receive an indication to perform a migration of a virtual environment and services from a first host system to a second host system, initiate the migration of the virtual environment and services by communicating information associated with the virtual environment and services from the first host system to a second host system, and communicate a data structure having a value to a peer system, the value set to cause the peer system to halt communication of information for the virtual environment to the first host system.
Claims22
An apparatus, comprising:
- memory;
- processing circuitry coupled with the memory;
- logic, at least partially implemented by the processing circuitry, the logic to:
- receive an indication to perform a migration of a virtual environment and services from a first host system to a second host system;
- initiate the migration of the virtual environment and services through communication of information associated with the virtual environment and services from the first host system to the second host system;
- and
- send a data structure having a value to a peer system, the value set to cause the peer system to halt communication of information for the virtual environment to the first host system.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, enable processing circuitry to:
- receive an indication to perform a migration of a virtual environment and services from a first host system to a second host system;
- initiate the migration of the virtual environment and services through communication of information from the first host system to the second host system;
- and
- send a data structure having a value to a peer system, the value set to cause the peer system to halt communication of information for the virtual environment to the first host system.
An apparatus, comprising:
- memory;
- processing circuitry coupled with the memory;
- logic, at least partially implemented by the processing circuitry, the logic to:
- receive an indication of a migration of a virtual environment and services from a first host system to a second host system;
- in response to receiving the indication, initiate one or more processes for the virtual environment and services on the second host system;
- receive information associated with the virtual environment and services;
- and
- send a data structure having a value to a peer system, the value set to cause the peer system to commence communication of information for the virtual environment to the second host system.
