Virtualization
Compute Memory
§ Capture a Virtual Machine
- The bootable (and multiple data) disk
is copied as an image file and saved
into the image repository .
- Image meta-data describing the Virtual
Machine container is captured and
included as part of the virtual image.
§ Import/Export a Virtual Appliance
- A virtual image may be imported to the
image repository and cataloged by
PowerVC.
- A virtual image can be exported from a
repository and easily distributed to
other systems and environments.

§ Symbol table contains information for each distinct key value
- Each key value is assigned a unique code (key compression)
- Code is 1, 2, or 4 bytes depending on number of distinct key values
§ Rather then a bit array for each distinct key value, use one array of codes
