Abstract:
1. In a computing environment, a method comprising: detecting, via a migration cable, a coupling of a server computing device and a client computing device; outputting first identification data from the migration cable to the server computing device the first identification data corresponding to a hardware component that the server computer recognizes as a data transfer device; outputting second identification data from the migration cable to the client computing device, the second identification data corresponding to a hardware component that the client computing device recognizes as a data source; emulating the data source at the server computing device by providing data comprising software code to the client computing device; the migration cable providing a command that marks the end of a first phase and informs the server and client computing devices to enter a second phase; beginning the second phase wherein both the client and server computing devices re-enumerate and appear with a new set of descriptors; and running the software code on the client computing device to configure the client computing device to transfer data to the server computer device.
