Research on External Storages Management of Virtual Machine

Abstract:

To deal with the problem of external storages management in multiple virtual machines environment, a system design scheme of external storages management is proposed with the idea of virtual memory management and protocol of object-based Network storage. Experiments showed that virtual partition could be created and repealed dynamic, the capability of partition could be increased dynamic with practical requirement, and write protection based partition could also be realized, flexibility of external storages management is enhanced greatly and usage efficiency also increased notably.
