Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for safely migrating to virtualized platforms may include (1) identifying a virtual machine that is a target of a physical-to-virtual conversion from a physical server, (2) determining that the physical-to-virtual conversion includes at least one future step before the physical-to-virtual conversion is complete, (3) based on determining that the physical-to-virtual conversion includes the future step, creating a snapshot of the virtual machine before the future step, and (4) reverting the virtual machine to the snapshot before the future step. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
