Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon program code executable by a destination hypervisor running on a destination host system, the program code embodying a method comprising:
at a time of performing a live migration of a virtual machine (VM) from a source host system to the destination host system, receiving a live migration payload packet from a source hypervisor running on the source host system, the live migration payload packet including error metadata for a guest memory page of the VM that indicates the guest memory page is at least partially corrupted; and
upon completion of the live migration:
initiating execution of a migrated copy of the VM on the destination host system;
trapping a memory access to the guest memory page during the execution of the migrated copy of the VM; and
in response to the trapping, raising a virtual memory exception to a guest operating system (OS) of the migrated copy of the VM, the virtual memory exception informing the guest OS that the guest memory page is at least partially corrupted.
