Zusammenfassung:Some embodiments provide a method for operating a physical server in a network. The method stores multiple copies of a virtual machine (VM) image at a network-accessible storage. The method uses a first copy of the VM image as a virtual disk to execute a VM on a hypervisor of a first physical computing device. The method uses a second copy of the VM image as a virtual disk accessible via a smart network interface controller (NIC) of a second physical computing device to execute an operating system of the second physical computing device.
