   * - One approach is ...
   *   We first create a new VM (i.e., destination VM) on the destination   physical host. The destination VM will
   *   receive the state of the source
   *   VM over network. We will finally destroy the source VM.
   *   - This behavior is similar to the way of migration in the real world.
   *     Even before a migration is completed, we will see a destination VM, consuming resources.
   *   - We have to relocate all processes. The existing process migration code will work for this?
   *   - The name of the VM is a somewhat unique ID in the code. It is tricky for the destination VM?
   *
   * - Another one is ...
   *   We update the information of the given VM to place it to the destination physical host.
   *
   * The second one would be easier.
