I remember when Sun tried doing something like this years ago with the JavaStation. I wish that technology would have matured and become production. The idea was to connect to the central server with a SunRay and have your context on the local SunRay. When you removed your JavaCard and inserted it in another SunRay, your context moved with you. They were working on a system where you could re-direct your image to another box and resume minutes later. If you were working on something in the office you could move the image to your home system and have it resume operation there. I am trying to get something like this working with the Amazon Cloud. The concept is to get your running VMWare image and clone it to the Amazon Cloud for disaster recovery execution. The first version didn't work but I haven't got the latest version installed and working. Next on my list of projects is to upgrade a VMWare image from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 and not break the VM logic. VMotion is a great idea.

Having to enable Enhanced VMotion Compatibility (EVC) processor support seems a small price to pay. Of course, I am sure the issue is determining what the issues was. Onward. PeH Pat;

This can be done through cloud structures like Amazon. You can reserve a static ip address and map the two instances to each other. You have to have two static IP address mappings.
