Abstract
In one embodiment, a system for managing communication connections in a virtualization environment includes (1) a first host machine implementing a virtualization environment based on a first platform, wherein the first host machine includes a first hypervisor, at least one virtual machine, and one or more virtual infrastructure elements and (2) a virtual disk including a plurality of storage devices. A management module for the system may perform steps to convert the first host machine to a second platform by installing (on the first host machine) a second hypervisor associated with the second platform, disabling the first hypervisor, capturing a configuration describing elements of a virtual infrastructure associated with the first hypervisor, registering the captured configuration with the second hypervisor, creating elements of the captured configuration in the context of the second platform and in association with the second hypervisor, and then enabling the second hypervisor.
