The document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 16 of the textbook "Operating System Concepts – 9th Edition" by Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne regarding virtual machines. It discusses the history and benefits of virtual machines, different types of virtual machine technologies including hardware-based hypervisors, software hypervisors, and paravirtualization. It also describes common techniques for implementing virtualization like trap-and-emulate, binary translation, and hardware assistance using features like nested page tables.
The 4.5 release no a minor "point" update: it is one of the most feature-rich releases in the project's history. It contains several important additions. Most notably, new Xen PVH virtualization mode now supports running as dom0, enhanced support for Remus, significant ARM architecture updates, security improvements, real-time scheduling, support for Intel Cache Monitoring Technology (CMT), as well as improvements for automotive and embedded use-cases. Other enhancements include additional support for FreeBSD, systemd support, additional libvirt support, the release of Mirage OS 2.0, and more.
Besides giving an overview of Xen 4.5, we will explain the project's roadmap process and share what's ahead for 2015: such as improved OpenStack integration and hotpatching (applying security fixes without the need to reboot).

Put your Java apps to sleep? Find out how - John Matthew Holt (Waratek)jaxLondonConference
Presented at JAX London 2013
Imagine if, when your applications weren't in use, they could go to sleep, just like your laptop does when idle. Just think how much money you could save on your infrastructure. The problem with many resource-intensive Java applications is that they are far more difficult to redeploy than they are to take down. Consequently applications tend to be left running whether they are being used or not.
XPDDS18: The Art of Virtualizing Cache Maintenance - Julien Grall, ArmThe Linux Foundation
The Arm architecture allows for a wide variety of cache configurations, levels and features. This enables building systems that will optimally fit power/area budgets set for the target application.
A consequence of this is that architecturally compliant software has to cater for a much wider range of behaviors than on other architectures. While most software uses cache instructions that don't need special treatment in a virtualized environment, some will want to directly manage a given cache using set/way instructions and will introduce challenges for the hypervisor to handle them.
This talk will give an overview of how caches behave in the Arm architecture, especially in the context of virtualization. It will then describe the problem of using set/way instructions in a virtualized environment. We will also discuss the modifications required in Xen to handle those instructions.

XPDDS18: Memory Overcommitment in XEN - Huang Zhichao, HuaweiThe Linux Foundation
This talk will introduce our practice on Memory Overcommitment in XEN, and share some findings and lessons. i.e.: The best practice of POD(Populate On Demand), including live migration of the POD pages; Introduce the mem-shr, a memory-saving de-duplication feature, to merge the samepages; Xenpaging optimizing, including some policy enhancements; Scalability investigation and enhancements on Memory Overcommitment; What fields Memory Overcommitment benefits Huawei Cloud, and some performance data
Power management has become increasingly important in large-scale datacenters to address costs and limitations in cooling or power delivery, and it is much critical in mobile client where battery lifecycle is considered as one of the critical characteristics of the platform of choice. Good power management helps to achieve great energy efficiency. Virtualization imposes additional challenge to power management. It involves multiple software layers: VMM, OS, APP. For example, a good OS software stack may result in bad power consumption, if the hypervisor is not the timer unalignment, etc.
In this session, we will introduce what we did to improve power efficiency to achieve better power efficiency in both server and client virtualization environment.
In server side, we will introduce additional optimization technologies (e.g., eliminate unnecessary activities, align periodic timers to create long-idle period), to improve package C6 residency to be within 5% overhead with native. In client side, we will share our client power optimization technologies (e.g. graphics, ATA and wireless), which successfully reduce XenClient idle power overhead to be within 5%.

NVDIMM is a standard for allowing non-volatile memory to be exposed to as normal RAM, which can be directly mapped to guests. This simple concept has the potential to dramatically change the way software is written; but also has a number of surprising problems to solve. Furthermore, this area is plagued with incomplete specifications and confusing terminoligy.
This talk will attempt to give an overview of NVDIMMs from an operating system perspective: What the terminology means, how they are discovered and partitioned, issues relating to filesystems, a brief description of the functionality available in Linux, and so on. It will then describe the various issues and design choices a Xen system has to make in order to allow Xen systems to use NVDIMMs effectively.

Virtualization is a new method regarding using computing resources efficiently, by maximizing energy efficiency, extend the life of the hardware and also recycles. Virtualization technology is a system of work done by the software can merge some real physical systems into a single virtual form commonly known as virtualization without prejudice advantages over the single system. Of course, this system can reduce the amount of hardware, electrical energy consumption and time used thereby increasing the level of efficiency and effectiveness. Also, virtualization certainly reduces heat energy arising from the number of installed hardware, thereby reducing the increase in temperature geothermal (Global Warming). Some virtualization includes Server Virtualization, Network Virtualization, Memory Virtualization, Grid Computing, Application Virtualization, Storage Virtualization, Virtualization and Thin Client Platform.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

An Approach to Detecting Writing Styles Based on Clustering Techniquesambekarshweta25
An Approach to Detecting Writing Styles Based on Clustering Techniques
Authors:
-Devkinandan Jagtap
-Shweta Ambekar
-Harshit Singh
-Nakul Sharma (Assistant Professor)
Institution:
VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.

4. 16.4 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Overview
Fundamental idea – abstract hardware of a single computer into
several different execution environments
Similar to layered approach
But layer creates virtual system (virtual machine, or VM) on
which operation systems or applications can run
Several components
Host – underlying hardware system
Virtual machine manager (VMM) or hypervisor – creates
and runs virtual machines by providing interface that is identical
to the host
(Except in the case of paravirtualization)
Guest – process provided with virtual copy of the host
Usually an operating system
Single physical machine can run multiple operating systems
concurrently, each in its own virtual machine

support for virtual machine creation and management via firmware
IBM LPARs and Oracle LDOMs are examples
Type 1 hypervisors - Operating-system-like software built to
provide virtualization
Including VMware ESX, Joyent SmartOS, and Citrix XenServer
Type 1 hypervisors – Also includes general-purpose operating
systems that provide standard functions as well as VMM functions
Including Microsoft Windows Server with HyperV and RedHat Linux
with KVM
Type 2 hypervisors - Applications that run on standard
operating systems but provide VMM features to guest operating
systems
Includeing VMware Workstation and Fusion, Parallels Desktop, and
Oracle VirtualBox
7. 16.7 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Implementation of VMMs (cont.)
Other variations include:
Paravirtualization - Technique in which the guest operating system is
modified to work in cooperation with the VMM to optimize performance
Programming-environment virtualization - VMMs do not virtualize
real hardware but instead create an optimized virtual system
Used by Oracle Java and Microsoft.Net
Emulators – Allow applications written for one hardware environment to
run on a very different hardware environment, such as a different type of
CPU
Application containment - Not virtualization at all but rather provides
virtualization-like features by segregating applications from the operating
system, making them more secure, manageable
Including Oracle Solaris Zones, BSD Jails, and IBM AIX WPARs
Much variation due to breadth, depth and importance of virtualization in
modern computing

History
First appeared in IBM mainframes in 1972
Allowed multiple users to share a batch-oriented system
Formal definition of virtualization helped move it beyond IBM
1. A VMM provides an environment for programs that is
essentially identical to the original machine
2. Programs running within that environment show only minor
performance decreases
3. The VMM is in complete control of system resources
In late 1990s Intel CPUs fast enough for researchers to try
virtualizing on general purpose PCs
Xen and VMware created technologies, still used today
Virtualization has expanded to many OSes, CPUs, VMMs
9. 16.9 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Benefits and Features
Host system protected from VMs, VMs protected from each other
I.e. A virus less likely to spread
Sharing is provided though via shared file system volume,
network communication
Freeze, suspend, running VM
Then can move or copy somewhere else and resume
Snapshot of a given state, able to restore back to that state
Some VMMs allow multiple snapshots per VM
Clone by creating copy and running both original and copy
Great for OS research, better system development efficiency
Run multiple, different OSes on a single machine
Consolidation, app dev, …

Edition
Benefits and Features (cont.)
Templating – create an OS + application VM, provide it to
customers, use it to create multiple instances of that combination
Live migration – move a running VM from one host to another!
No interruption of user access
All those features taken together -> cloud computing
Using APIs, programs tell cloud infrastructure (servers,
networking, storage) to create new guests, VMs, virtual
desktops
11. 16.11 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Building Blocks
Generally difficult to provide an exact duplicate of underlying
machine
Especially if only dual-mode operation available on CPU
But getting easier over time as CPU features and support for
VMM improves
Most VMMs implement virtual CPU (VCPU) to represent
state of CPU per guest as guest believes it to be
When guest context switched onto CPU by VMM,
information from VCPU loaded and stored
Several techniques, as described in next slides
12. 16.12 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Building Block – Trap and Emulate
Dual mode CPU means guest executes in user mode
Kernel runs in kernel mode
Not safe to let guest kernel run in kernel mode too
So VM needs two modes – virtual user mode and virtual
kernel mode
Both of which run in real user mode
Actions in guest that usually cause switch to kernel mode
must cause switch to virtual kernel mode
13. 16.13 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Trap-and-Emulate (cont.)
How does switch from virtual user mode to virtual kernel mode
occur?
Attempting a privileged instruction in user mode causes an error
-> trap
VMM gains control, analyzes error, executes operation as
attempted by guest
Returns control to guest in user mode
Known as trap-and-emulate
Most virtualization products use this at least in part
User mode code in guest runs at same speed as if not a guest
But kernel mode privilege mode code runs slower due to trap-and-
emulate
Especially a problem when multiple guests running, each
needing trap-and-emulate
CPUs adding hardware support, mode CPU modes to improve
virtualization performance

Trap-and-Emulate Virtualization Implementation
15. 16.15 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Building Block – Binary Translation
Some CPUs don’t have clean separation between privileged
and nonprivileged instructions
Earlier Intel x86 CPUs are among them
Earliest Intel CPU designed for a calculator
Backward compatibility means difficult to improve
Consider Intel x86 popf instruction
Loads CPU flags register from contents of the stack
If CPU in privileged mode -> all flags replaced
If CPU in user mode -> on some flags replaced
– No trap is generated
16. 16.16 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Binary Translation (cont.)
Other similar problem instructions we will call special instructions
Caused trap-and-emulate method considered impossible until 1998
Binary translation solves the problem
Basics are simple, but implementation very complex
1. If guest VCPU is in user mode, guest can run instructions natively
2. If guest VCPU in kernel mode (guest believes it is in kernel mode)
1. VMM examines every instruction guest is about to execute by
reading a few instructions ahead of program counter
2. Non-special-instructions run natively
3. Special instructions translated into new set of instructions that
perform equivalent task (for example changing the flags in the
VCPU)
17. 16.17 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Binary Translation (cont.)
Implemented by translation of code within VMM
Code reads native instructions dynamically from guest, on demand,
generates native binary code that executes in place of original code
Performance of this method would be poor without optimizations
Products like VMware use caching
Translate once, and when guest executes code containing
special instruction cached translation used instead of
translating again
Testing showed booting Windows XP as guest caused
950,000 translations, at 3 microseconds each, or 3 second
(5 %) slowdown over native

Binary Translation Virtualization Implementation
19. 16.19 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Nested Page Tables
Memory management another general challenge to VMM implementations
How can VMM keep page-table state for both guests believing they control
the page tables and VMM that does control the tables?
Common method (for trap-and-emulate and binary translation) is nested
page tables (NPTs)
Each guest maintains page tables to translate virtual to physical
addresses
VMM maintains per guest NPTs to represent guest’s page-table state
Just as VCPU stores guest CPU state
When guest on CPU -> VMM makes that guest’s NPTs the active system
page tables
Guest tries to change page table -> VMM makes equivalent change to
NPTs and its own page tables
Can cause many more TLB misses -> much slower performance
20. 16.20 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Building Blocks – Hardware Assistance
All virtualization needs some HW support
More support -> more feature rich, stable, better performance of
guests
Intel added new VT-x instructions in 2005 and AMD the AMD-V
instructions in 2006
CPUs with these instructions remove need for binary translation
Generally define more CPU modes – “guest” and “host”
VMM can enable host mode, define characteristics of each guest VM,
switch to guest mode and guest(s) on CPU(s)
In guest mode, guest OS thinks it is running natively, sees devices (as
defined by VMM for that guest)
Access to virtualized device, priv instructions cause trap to VMM
CPU maintains VCPU, context switches it as needed
HW support for Nested Page Tables, DMA, interrupts as well over
time
22. 16.22 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Types of Virtual Machines and Implementations
Many variations as well as HW details
Assume VMMs take advantage of HW features
HW features can simplify implementation, improve performance
Whatever the type, a VM has a lifecycle
Created by VMM
Resources assigned to it (number of cores, amount of memory,
networking details, storage details)
In type 0 hypervisor, resources usually dedicated
Other types dedicate or share resources, or a mix
When no longer needed, VM can be deleted, freeing resouces
Steps simpler, faster than with a physical machine install
Can lead to virtual machine sprawl with lots of VMs, history
and state difficult to track
23. 16.23 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Types of VMs – Type 0 Hypervisor
Old idea, under many names by HW manufacturers
“partitions”, “domains”
A HW feature implemented by firmware
OS need to nothing special, VMM is in firmware
Smaller feature set than other types
Each guest has dedicated HW
I/O a challenge as difficult to have enough devices, controllers to
dedicate to each guest
Sometimes VMM implements a control partition running
daemons that other guests communicate with for shared I/O
Can provide virtualization-within-virtualization (guest itself can be
a VMM with guests
Other types have difficulty doing this
25. 16.25 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Types of VMs – Type 1 Hypervisor
Commonly found in company datacenters
In a sense becoming “datacenter operating systems”
Datacenter managers control and manage OSes in new,
sophisticated ways by controlling the Type 1 hypervisor
Consolidation of multiple OSes and apps onto less HW
Move guests between systems to balance performance
Snapshots and cloning
Special purpose operating systems that run natively on HW
Rather than providing system call interface, create run and manage
guest OSes
Can run on Type 0 hypervisors but not on other Type 1s
Run in kernel mode
Guests generally don’t know they are running in a VM
Implement device drivers for host HW because no other component can
Also provide other traditional OS services like CPU and memory
management
26. 16.26 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Types of VMs – Type 1 Hypervisor (cont.)
Another variation is a general purpose OS that also provides
VMM functionality
RedHat Enterprise Linux with KVM, Windows with Hyper-V,
Oracle Solaris
Perform normal duties as well as VMM duties
Typically less feature rich than dedicated Type 1 hypervisors
In many ways, treat guests OSes as just another process
Albeit with special handling when guest tries to execute
special instructions
27. 16.27 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Types of VMs – Type 2 Hypervisor
Less interesting from an OS perspective
Very little OS involvement in virtualization
VMM is simply another process, run and managed by host
Even the host doesn’t know they are a VMM running
guests
Tend to have poorer overall performance because can’t take
advantage of some HW features
But also a benefit because require no changes to host OS
Student could have Type 2 hypervisor on native host, run
multiple guests, all on standard host OS such as
Windows, Linux, MacOS
28. 16.28 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Types of VMs – Paravirtualization
Does not fit the definition of virtualization – VMM not presenting an
exact duplication of underlying hardware
But still useful!
VMM provides services that guest must be modified to use
Leads to increased performance
Less needed as hardware support for VMs grows
Xen, leader in paravirtualized space, adds several techniques
For example, clean and simple device abstractions
Efficient I/O
Good communication between guest and VMM about
device I/O
Each device has circular buffer shared by guest and VMM
via shared memory

30. 16.30 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Types of VMs – Paravirtualization (cont.)
Xen, leader in paravirtualized space, adds several techniques
(Cont.)
Memory management does not include nested page tables
Each guest has own read-only tables
Guest uses hypercall (call to hypervisor) when page-
table changes needed
Paravirtualization allowed virtualization of older x86 CPUs (and
others) without binary translation
Guest had to be modified to use run on paravirtualized VMM
But on modern CPUs Xen no longer requires guest modification
-> no longer paravirtualization
31. 16.31 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Types of VMs – Programming Environment Virtualization
Also not-really-virtualization but using same techniques, providing
similar features
Programming language is designed to run within custom-built
virtualized environment
For example Oracle Java has many features that depend on
running in Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
In this case virtualization is defined as providing APIs that define a
set of features made available to a language and programs written
in that language to provide an improved execution environment
JVM compiled to run on many systems (including some smart
phones even)
Programs written in Java run in the JVM no matter the underlying
system
Similar to interpreted languages
32. 16.32 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Types of VMs – Emulation
Another (older) way for running one operating system on a different
operating system
Virtualization requires underlying CPU to be same as guest was
compiled for
Emulation allows guest to run on different CPU
Necessary to translate all guest instructions from guest CPU to native
CPU
Emulation, not virtualization
Useful when host system has one architecture, guest compiled for other
architecture
Company replacing outdated servers with new servers containing
different CPU architecture, but still want to run old applications
Performance challenge – order of magnitude slower than native code
New machines faster than older machines so can reduce slowdown
Very popular – especially in gaming where old consoles emulated on
new
33. 16.33 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
Types of VMs – Application Containment
Some goals of virtualization are segregation of apps, performance and
resource management, easy start, stop, move, and management of
them
Can do those things without full-fledged virtualization
If applications compiled for the host operating system, don’t need
full virtualization to meet these goals
Oracle containers / zones for example create virtual layer between
OS and apps
Only one kernel running – host OS
OS and devices are virtualized, providing resources within zone
with impression that they are only processes on system
Each zone has its own applications; networking stack, addresses,
and ports; user accounts, etc
CPU and memory resources divided between zones
Zone can have its own scheduler to use those resources
35. 16.35 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th

Virtualization and Operating-System Components
Now look at operating system aspects of virtualization
CPU scheduling, memory management, I/O, storage, and
unique VM migration feature
How do VMMs schedule CPU use when guests believe
they have dedicated CPUs?
How can memory management work when many guests
require large amounts of memory?
36. 16.36 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
OS Component – CPU Scheduling
Even single-CPU systems act like multiprocessor ones when
virtualized
One or more virtual CPUs per guest
Generally VMM has one or more physical CPUs and number of
threads to run on them
Guests configured with certain number of VCPUs
Can be adjusted throughout life of VM
When enough CPUs for all guests -> VMM can allocate dedicated
CPUs, each guest much like native operating system managing its
CPUs
Usually not enough CPUs -> CPU overcommitment
VMM can use standard scheduling algorithms to put threads on
CPUs
Some add fairness aspect
37. 16.37 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
OS Component – CPU Scheduling (cont.)
Cycle stealing by VMM and oversubscription of CPUs means
guests don’t get CPU cycles they expect
Consider timesharing scheduler in a guest trying to
schedule 100ms time slices -> each may take 100ms, 1
second, or longer
Poor response times for users of guest
Time-of-day clocks incorrect
Some VMMs provide application to run in each guest to fix
time-of-day and provide other integration features
38. 16.38 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
OS Component – Memory Management
Also suffers from oversubscription -> requires extra management
efficiency from VMM
For example, VMware ESX guests have a configured amount of physical
memory, then ESX uses 3 methods of memory management
1. Double-paging, in which the guest page table indicates a page is in
a physical frame but the VMM moves some of those pages to
backing store
2. Install a pseudo-device driver in each guest (it looks like a
device driver to the guest kernel but really just adds kernel-mode
code to the guest)
Balloon memory manager communicates with VMM and is told
to allocate or deallocate memory to decrease or increase
physical memory use of guest, causing guest OS to free or have
more memory available
1. Deduplication by VMM determining if same page loaded more than
once, memory mapping the same page into multiple guests
39. 16.39 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
OS Component – I/O
Easier for VMMs to integrate with guests because I/O has lots of
variation
Already somewhat segregated / flexible via device drivers
VMM can provide new devices and device drivers
But overall I/O is complicated for VMMs
Many short paths for I/O in standard OSes for improved performance
Less hypervisor needs to do for I/O for guests, the better
Possibilities include direct device access, DMA pass-through, direct
interrupt delivery
Again, HW support needed for these
Networking also complex as VMM and guests all need network access
VMM can bridge guest to network (allowing direct access)
And / or provide network address translation (NAT)
NAT address local to machine on which guest is running, VMM
provides address translation to guest to hide its address
40. 16.40 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
OS Component – Storage Management
Both boot disk and general data access need be provided by VMM
Need to support potentially dozens of guests per VMM (so standard
disk partitioning not sufficient)
Type 1 – storage guest root disks and config information within file
system provided by VMM as a disk image
Type 2 – store as files in file system provided by host OS
Duplicate file -> create new guest
Move file to another system -> move guest
Physical-to-virtual (P-to-V) convert native disk blocks into VMM
format
Virtual-to-physical (V-to-P) convert from virtual format to native or
disk format
VMM also needs to provide access to network attached storage (just
networking) and other disk images, disk partitions, disks, etc
41. 16.41 Silberschatz, Galvin and GagneOperating System Concepts – 9th
Edition
OS Component – Live Migration
Taking advantage of VMM features leads to new functionality not found on
general operating systems such as live migration
Running guest can be moved between systems, without interrupting user
access to the guest or its apps
Very useful for resource management, maintenance downtime windows, etc
1. The source VMM establishes a connection with the target VMM
2. The target creates a new guest by creating a new VCPU, etc
3. The source sends all read-only guest memory pages to the target
4. The source sends all read-write pages to the target, marking them as clean
5. The source repeats step 4, as during that step some pages were probably
modified by the guest and are now dirty
6. When cycle of steps 4 and 5 becomes very short, source VMM freezes
guest, sends VCPU’s final state, sends other state details, sends final dirty
pages, and tells target to start running the guest
Once target acknowledges that guest running, source terminates guest

VMware Workstation runs on x86, provides VMM for guests
Runs as application on other native, installed host operating
system -> Type 2
Lots of guests possible, including Windows, Linux, etc all
runnable concurrently (as resources allow)

with is own virtual CPUs, memory, disk drives, network
interfaces, etc

disks (just files within host file system)
