Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 15:
16. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium or media comprising one or more sets of instructions which, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, causes steps to be performed comprising:
given a virtual machine of a first type comprising a guest operating system (OS) operating on a source hypervisor that has been selected for migration to a virtual machine of a second type operating on a destination hypervisor that is of a different type than the source hypervisor:
gathering data regarding source guest OS tool settings about the virtual machine operating on the 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;
obtaining, from a repository, at least some of a set of settings correlation models for a direction-specific migration from the source hypervisor to the destination hypervisor;
using at least some of the gathered data and at least one or more correlation models from the set of setting correlation models for a direction-specific migration, determining a set of correlated settings for the direction-specific migration of the virtual machine from the source hypervisor to the destination hypervisor; and
applying a finalized set of correlated settings obtained from the set of correlated settings to a destination guest OS tool for the virtual machine.
