Abstract

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for transferring a virtual machine from a first server to a second server. A first enhanced system translator executing on the first server includes a first virtual machine interface to interface with a first instance of the virtual machine on the first server and a first convert state component. A second enhanced system translator executing on the second server includes a second virtual machine interface to interface with a second instance of the virtual machine and a second convert state component. The first convert state component converts a state of the first instance of the virtual machine to a first instruction set architecture and the second convert state component converts the first instructions set architecture to a second instruction set architecture for use by the second instance of the virtual machine to run on the second server.
