摘要：System and method for conversion of virtual machine files without requiringcopying of the virtual machine payload (data) from one location to another location. Byeliminating this step, applicant's invention significantly enhances the efficiency of the
conversion process. In one embodiment, a file system or storage system providesindirections to locations of data elements stored on a persistent storage media. A sourcevirtual machine file includes hypervisor metadata (HM) data elements in one hypervisorfile format, and virtual machine payload (VMP) data elements. The source virtual machinefile is converted by transforming the HM data elements of the source file to createdestination HM data elements in a destination hypervisor format different from thesource hypervisor format; maintaining the locations of the VMP data elements stored onthe persistent storage media constant during the conversion from source to destinationfile formats without reading or writing the VMP data elements; and creating indirectionsto reference the destination HM data elements in the destination hypervisor format andthe existing stored VMP data elements.
