Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining settings for migration of a virtual machine 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, which help improve performance of the source guest OS in the source hypervisor's virtualized environment by affecting at least one of data exchange and time synchronization, about the virtual machine operating on the source hypervisor;
obtaining, from a repository, 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 the 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.
