USE OF SNAPSHOTS TO REDUCE RISK IN MIGRATION TO A STANDARD VIRTUALIZED ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- during a process of migrating a source system into a standardized virtual environment, snapshotting virtual machine instances of said source system executing in a hypervisor as virtual machine images in an operational repository of said hypervisor, said virtual machine images in said operational repository comprising short-term snapshots; and
from time to time during said migration process, creating long-term snapshots of said source system by checking given ones of said virtual machine images from said hypervisor operational repository into an image library as image objects.

Abstract
During a process of migrating a source system into a standardized virtual environment, virtual machine instances of the source system executing in a hypervisor are snapshotted as virtual machine images in an operational repository of the hypervisor. The virtual machine images in the operational repository are short-term snapshots. From time to time during the migration process, long-term snapshots of the source system are created by checking given ones of the virtual machine images from the hypervisor operational repository into an image library as image objects.
