摘要:
Switching of the allocation of a device to a guest OS is implemented through transmission of a virtual suspension interrupt to a guest OS in a VMM; a power control notification process module that causes the guest OS to start a return process from a suspended state; a guest power process module that traps a suspension process of the guest OS; an I/O configuration change process module that updates a logical device definition of the VMM in the suspended state of the guest OS; a guest I/O emulation process module that emulates an I/O instruction that is issued by an I/O reconfiguration process module and that is executed when the guest OS has returned from the suspended state, thereby to provide a new logical device configuration to the guest OS.

In a system including a plurality of physical machines to execute virtual machines (VM1, VM2), migration virtual machine information and definition information are saved in a physical machine executing a virtual machine (VM1) to be migrated and a storage of a physical machine as a migration destination. During the migration of the virtual machine, machine identification information of a migration partner, unique information assigned to the virtual machine, and information indicating whether the physical machine executing the processing is a migration-source or migration-destination physical machine are saved in a migration information storage area. A migration recovery section examines information stored in a definition information storage area and a migration information storage area to determine a recovery procedure to restore the virtual machine.
摘要:
The computer system has a plurality of physical server devices, a plurality of physical storage devices, and a management server device, and when migrating at least one of a plurality of first virtual server devices to another physical server device, the management server device compares at least one physical server device in which the plurality of first virtual server devices are disposed after the migration, with at least one physical server device in which a plurality of second virtual server devices are disposed, to calculate a first evaluation value, and also compares at least one physical server device in which the plurality of first virtual server devices are disposed after the migration, with at least one physical server device in which a plurality of third virtual server devices are disposed, to calculate a second evaluation value. Based on the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value, the management server device issues an instruction to migrate the first virtual storage device to the other physical storage device.
摘要:
A method of rebooting an operating system including a plurality of load modules in a single computer. One load module which is to be operated during rebooting of the operating system is held in a memory, while establishing a state capable of accepting interrupt to be processed by the one load module. All the other load modules are loaded in a memory of the computer. Processing of the interrupt can be executed by the one load module even during the rebooting of the operating system.

摘要:
In a plural computer system executing a virtual computer, an exterior storage volume may receive unjustly multiple access, and contents of the volume may be destroyed. Provided are: a switch coupling a virtual computer and I/O, a virtual computer managing unit coupled to a computer and the switch, and a determination unit determining a login acceptance/rejection of a virtual computer and I/O. The virtual computer possesses a virtual HBA, and upon receiving a login inquiry to the I/O from a certain virtual computer, a determination unit compares an identifier allocated to the certain virtual computer with an identifier allocated to another virtual computer to be executed on a physical computer different from the physical computer on which the certain virtual computer is executed, and determines login acceptance/rejection. Accordingly, an access control to the I/O is performed.
摘要:
Allocation of virtual disk volumes of a size designated by the computer manager to a virtual computer and accessibility from the virtual computer to the virtual disk volumes without requiring intervention by a hypervisor are to be achieved. In a computer, at least one virtual computer to be in execution on the computer, and a computer system in which the virtual computer has volumes for holding data, a virtualization mechanism has a virtual volume allocating unit and a virtual volume information supplying unit, and the virtual computer has a virtual volume driver for converting positional information on virtual volumes. Additionally, the virtualization mechanism holds the virtual volume information together with defining information for the virtual computer to which the virtual volumes have been allocated.
