US Patent 9047108 Systems and methods for migrating replicated virtual machine disks

A computer-implemented method for migrating replicated virtual machine disks may include 1) replicating a virtual machine disk from an initial data store at a primary site to an initial data store at a secondary site to create a replicated virtual machine disk, 2) identifying a request to migrate the virtual machine disk within the primary site, 3) pausing replication of the virtual machine disk and mirroring the virtual machine disk from the initial data store a subsequent data store at the primary site, mirroring the replicated virtual machine disk from the initial data store to a subsequent data store at the secondary site, and 4) upon mirroring, resuming replication of the virtual machine disk by replicating the virtual machine disk from the subsequent data store at the primary site to the subsequent data store at the secondary site. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
