Abstract
An approach is provided to apply a virtual machine (VM) image to a computer system. In the approach, implemented by an information handling system, a detection is made that a current VM image executing on the computer system is experiencing a problem. In response, prior VM images are analyzed, with each of the prior VM images being an image that was previously executed on the computer system. Based on the analysis, one of the prior VM images is selected and the selected image is used to replace the current VM image on the computer system.
