Abstract
An input/output (I/O) device can initiate data migration of a virtual machine (VM) instance from a source device to a target device. The data migration of the VM instance may include migrating the data for the VM instance and tag data associated with the data. The data for the VM instance and the tag data may be stored together in a source memory. A first read request from the I/O device can enable a memory controller in the source device to read the data for the VM instance and the tag data together, store the tag data in a tag data buffer, and transmit the data for the VM instance to the target device. A second read request from the I/O device can read the stored tag data from the tag data buffer and transmit to the target device. The target device can write the data for the VM instance together with the tag data in the target memory.
