Abstract
Method and system for detecting migration of a virtual machine are provided. The method detects that a first identifier for identifying a virtual machine and a second identifier identifying a source computing system hosting the virtual machine that accesses a storage space via a logical object have changed, when the virtual machine is migrated from the source computing system to a destination computing system. Thereafter, a storage device at the destination computing system is initialized to operate as a caching device for the migrated virtual machine.
