Claim 7:
8. A computer-implemented method for determining settings for migration of a virtual machine comprising:
for each virtual machine from a set of migrated virtual machines:
recording source guest operating system (OS) tool settings data about the virtual machine operating on a source hypervisor, in which the source guest OS tool settings help improve performance of the source guest OS in a source hypervisor environment by affecting at least one of data exchange and time synchronization; and
recording destination guest OS tool settings data about the virtual machine operating on a destination hypervisor that is of a different type than the source hypervisor after migration of the virtual machine to the destination hypervisor, in which the destination guest OS tool settings help improve performance of the destination guest OS in a destination hypervisor environment by affecting at least one of data exchange and time synchronization;

using the source guest OS tool settings data and the corresponding destination guest OS tool settings data for the set of migrated virtual machines as training data to develop a set of settings correlation models for a direction-specific migration using one or more machine learning techniques, in which the set of setting correlation models correlate one or more settings of the source guest OS tool for a virtual machine operating on a first hypervisor to one or more settings of the destination guest OS tool for the virtual machine operating on a second hypervisor after migration; and
storing the at least some of the set of settings correlation models for the direction-specific migration in a datastore.
