Patent attributes
Systems and methods for supporting dynamic power management states for virtual machine (VM) migration are disclosed. In one implementation, a processing device may generate, by a host computer system, a host power management data structure specifying a plurality of power management states of the host computer system. The processing device may also detect that a VM has been migrated to the host computer system. The processing device may then prevent the VM from performing power management operations and may cause the virtual machine to read the host power management data structure. Responsive to receiving a notification that the VM has read the host power management data structure, the processing device may enable the VM to enter a first power management state of the plurality of power management states.
