Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A computer-implemented method for live migration of a logical dedicated host and virtual machines (VMs) associated therewith from a first physical server to a second physical server, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, includes, in response to receiving a request to migrate a logical dedicated host from the first physical server, creating a clone of the logical dedicated host thereby creating a clone dedicated host. The clone dedicated host is provisioned on a second physical server. VMs are migrated from the logical dedicated host to the clone dedicated host. The migration is transparent such that user operations being performed on the VMs continue uninterrupted during the migration. In response to completion of the migrating of the VMs to the clone dedicated host, the logical dedicated host is caused to be de-provisioned from the first physical server.
