Migrating a Container to a Virtual Machine

The pmigrate utility allows you to migrate Containers to virtual machines. The source server, i.e. the server where the Container resides before its migration, can be one of the following:

• a local server running Parallels Server Bare Metal
• a remote server running Parallels Server Bare Metal
• a remote server running Parallels Virtuozzo Containers

Currently, the destination server, i.e. the server where the resulting virtual machine will be created, can be only a local server with Parallels Server Bare Metal.

The process of migrating a Container to a virtual machine differs depending on whether the server where the Container resides is running the Parallels Server Bare Metal or Parallels Virtuozzo Containers software.
