Abstract
Virtual machine volumes may be migrated between software defined storage (SDS) systems by an orchestration engine configured to manage one or more virtual machines. The orchestration engine may identify one or more volumes associated with the one or more virtual machines and resident in a first SDS system to migrate to a second SDS system, and for each identified volume among the one or more identified volumes, the orchestration engine may create a replacement volume for the identified volume on the second SDS system, map the replacement volume to the associated virtual machine for the identified volume, cause the associated virtual machine to discover the replacement volume, mirror data from the identified volume to the replacement volume, unmap the identified volume from the associated virtual machine, and delete the identified volume from the first SDS system.
