Abstract
A method for off-board data migration. Responsive to receiving a request to migrate a virtual machine image, a memory location of the source virtual machine is identified. Using a generalized pathing interface, a range of logical blocks is accessed for both the source and destination virtual machines. The memory location of the source virtual machine is copied to a memory location of the destination virtual machine. The destination virtual machine is started, and; and the source virtual machine is stopped.
