Live migration
As there is so much demand for more information on Windows Virtualization, here are some of my notes from this morning:
Hypervisor - based.
Separate, small management partition (parent).
Takes device virtulization to the next level.
Targeting availability in 2007.
*Parent partition - a partition that manages its children.
*Child partition - any number of partitions that are started, managed and shut down by the parent.
*Virtualization Stack: The collection of components that runs in the parent partition for VM management.
All this is can only happen on X64 servers.
You will be able to have; Gust Multiprocessing, virtualized devices, WMI management and control API. Save and Restore, snapshotting, Tuning for NUMA and wait for it Live Migration!
