摘要： A next-generation OS with a virtualization feature is executed as a user program on a first virtual processor by selecting, in response to a cause of a call for a host VMM, one of a guest status area (221) for executing a user program on a second virtual processor and a host status area (222) for executing the guest VMM, and by updating a guest status area (131) of a shadow VMCS for controlling a physical processor. Accordingly, without a decrease in performance of a virtual computer, the next-generation OS incorporating the virtualization feature is executed on a virtual server, and the next-generation OS and an existing OS are integrated on a single physical computer.

摘要： A method for making it possible for a virtualization software (VMM) to generally identify a PCI function of an interrupt requester presupposing the existing I/O devices based on the PCI express is provided. An interrupt relay circuit is provided between an I/O device based on the PCI express and a PCI express bridge. The interrupt relay circuit receives and relays an interrupt transaction issued by the I/O device, and records whether there is an interrupt request in an interrupt indicator in association with an interrupt identifier. A VMM 114 uniquely identifies an I/O device of interrupt requester by referring to the interrupt indicator 134.

摘要： A method is provided which eliminates redundancy from the shadow PT operation performed by the VMM when the guest operating system running on a virtual machine updates a guest PT address. The VMM associates a plurality of shadow PTs with guest PTs and allocates their relation in memory. When it detects the update of a guest PT address, the VMM searches for a shadow PT corresponding to the updated guest PT. If the associated shadow PT exists, the VMM omits rewriting the shadow PT and registers the address of the shadow PT with the CPU. If the associated shadow PT does not exist, the VMM allocates a memory, creates a shadow PT, registers an address of the created shadow PT with the CPU, and records a relationship between the updated guest PT and the generated shadow PT.

摘要： Provided is a failover method for a cluster system for realizing smooth failover of the guest OS's, even when there are many guest OS's, while reducing consumption of computer resources of a server. Smooth failover is realized by preventing competition during failover even when the number of guest OS's is increased. In a cluster configuration in which a slave/master cluster program is operated in a guest OS/host OS, the master cluster program (510) collects and transmits heartbeats of the slave cluster program, thereby realizing failure monitoring through the certain amount of heartbeats without depending on the number of guest OS's. Further, when the master cluster program monitors failures of the slave cluster program of its own computer to find a normal operation of the guest OS, the amount of communication through heartbeats is reduced by eliminating the necessity of communication to a standby system slave cluster program.

摘要： Even when a large number of guest OSs exist, a failover method meeting high availability needed by the guest OSs is provided for the each guest OS. In the event of a physical or logical change of a system, or change of operation states, a smooth failover method can be realized by preventing the consumption of resource amounts due to excessive failover methods, and the occurrence of systemdown due to an inadequate failover method. In a server virtualization environment, in a cluster configuration having a failover method due to hot standby and cold standby, by selecting a failover method meeting high availability requirements specifying performance during failover of applications on the guest OSs, a suitable cluster configuration is realized. Failure monitoring is realized by quantitative heartbeat.
