Abstract
A method for transferring virtual machines across hypervisors is described. According to the method, a data management system may interface with a first hypervisor platform and a second hypervisor platform. The data management system may obtain a snapshot of a first virtual machine executing on the first hypervisor platform. The snapshot may include data and metadata associated with the first virtual machine in a first format that is supported by the first hypervisor platform. The data management system may extract the data and the metadata from the snapshot of the first virtual machine and convert the data and the metadata from the first format to a second format that is supported by the second hypervisor platform. The data management system may transfer the data and the metadata in the second format to a second virtual machine executing on the second hypervisor platform.
