Cross-Protocol Copying of Virtual Machines

An illustrative data storage system is configured to efficiently copy virtual machines across different protocols/formats. For example, a storage system virtually copies images of a virtual machine from a first type of presented storage format to a second type of presented storage format. As another...

Zusammenfassung:An illustrative data storage system is configured to efficiently copy virtual machines across different protocols/formats. For example, a storage system virtually copies images of a virtual machine from a first type of presented storage format to a second type of presented storage format. As another example, a storage system virtually copies a source virtual machine image into a block object to form a file of a block-object-based file system configured to present the virtually copied virtual machine image through a file-based protocol to a virtual machine host.
