AMD Highlights AMD-V Extended Migration Using VMware
In a new white paper made available this week and at an industry address at KVM Forum 2007, AMD today disclosed details about “AMD-V Extended Migration,” a feature dating back to the First-Generation AMD Opteron processor that enables virtual machines to migrate between different versions of AMD processors.
AMD-V Extended Migration provides the necessary support for virtualization software to mask the differences between CPU generations, facilitating the safe live migration of virtual machines between servers running different generations of AMD processors. This includes existing single-core and dual-core processors and all future AMD processor revisions, including the upcoming “Barcelona” Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors, the first native x86 quad-core microprocessor.
