Abstract
Transferring data for a virtual machine from a source storage device to a destination storage device includes determining if either the source storage device or the destination storage device is capable of unilaterally transferring data to a storage device having only input and output capabilities. The source storage device pushes data to the destination storage device if the source storage device is capable of unilaterally transferring data to a storage device having only input and output capabilities. The destination storage device pulls data from the source storage device if the destination storage device is capable of unilaterally transferring data to a storage device having only input and output capabilities. A host computing device transfers data from the source storage device to the destination storage device in response to neither storage device being capable of unilaterally transferring data to a storage device having only input and output capabilities.
