Abstract:
Migrating servers from client networks to virtual machines (VMs) on a provider network. A migration appliance is installed or booted on the client network, and a migration initiator is instantiated on the provider network. A VM and associated volumes are instantiated on the provider network. The initiator sends a request for a boot sector to the appliance; the appliance reads the blocks from a volume on the client network, converts the blocks to a format used by the VM, and sends the blocks to the initiator. The initiator boots the VM using the boot sector and the VM begins execution. The initiator then retrieves all data blocks for the VM from volumes on the client network via the appliance, stores the data to the volumes on the provider network, and fulfills requests from the VM from either local volumes or the remote volumes via the appliance.

Claim (Index 23):
A system, comprising:\n a client network comprising:\n a device that implements a server on the client network; and \n a storage system; \n a physical boot medium configured to be inserted in the device, wherein the boot medium stores program instructions for installing a migration appliance on the device upon a reboot of the device with the boot medium inserted in the device; wherein the migration appliance is configured to:\n receive, via a network connection over an intermediate network, a request from a migration initiator on a provider network for a boot sector for an operating system of the server; \n read the boot sector from a volume on the storage system that is logically attached to the server; \n convert the boot sector from a format used by the server to a format used by a virtual machine (VM) on a host device in the provider network; and \n send the converted boot sector to the migration initiator via the network connection, wherein the migration initiator boots the VM on the host device in the provider network according to the converted boot sector.
