Abstract
A method includes identifying a source virtual machine to be migrated from a source domain to a target domain, extracting file-in-use metadata and shared asset metadata from virtual machine metadata of the source virtual machine, and copying one or more files identified in the file-in-use metadata to a target virtual machine in the target domain. For each of one or more shared assets identified in the shared asset metadata, the method further includes (a) determining whether or not the shared asset already exists in the target domain, (b) responsive to the shared asset already existing in the target domain, updating virtual machine metadata of the target virtual machine to specify the shared asset, and (c) responsive to the shared asset not already existing in the target domain, copying the shared asset to the target domain and updating virtual machine metadata of the target virtual machine to specify the shared asset.
