Copying virtual machine flat tires from a source to target computing device based on matching disk layout

In one approach, a computer mounts a computing device to a target instance, where the computing device stores one or more virtual disks of a source instance, and wherein the target instance includes one or more local disks. The computer detects a disk layout of the source instance. The computer matc...

Zusammenfassung:In one approach, a computer mounts a computing device to a target instance, where the computing device stores one or more virtual disks of a source instance, and wherein the target instance includes one or more local disks. The computer detects a disk layout of the source instance. The computer matches the disk layout of the source instance to a disk layout of the target instance. The computer attaches the one or more virtual disks of the source instance to the corresponding one or more local disks of the target instance, where the one or more virtual disks of the source instance are attached as one or more flat files. The computer copies the one or more flat files to the corresponding one or more local disks of the target instance.
