Exposing proprietary data to a hypervisor as native hypervisor data

摘要

Exposing proprietary data to a hypervisor as native hypervisor data. In one example embodiment, one or more non-transitory computer-readable media store one or more programs that are configured, when executed, to cause one or more processors to perform a method of exposing proprietary data to a hypervisor as native hypervisor data. The method may include identifying a proprietary disk file having a proprietary file format, identifying a plugin file corresponding to the proprietary disk file with the plugin file having a plugin file format which is different from a native hypervisor disk file format, and intercepting read requests directed to the plugin file. The method may further include, in response to each read request, gathering data gathered from the proprietary disk file, restructuring the data to cause the data to appear to be gathered from a native hypervisor disk file, and responding with the restructured data.

主权项

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing one or more programs that are configured, when executed, to cause one or more processors to perform a method of exposing proprietary data to a hypervisor as native hypervisor data, the method comprising:
identifying a proprietary disk file having a proprietary file format; identifying a plugin file corresponding to the proprietary disk file, the plugin file having a plugin file format which is different from a native hypervisor disk file format; intercepting read requests directed to the plugin file; and in response to each read request:
gathering data gathered from the proprietary disk file;restructuring the data to cause the data to appear to be gathered from a native hypervisor disk file due to being structured in the native hypervisor disk file format; andresponding with the restructured data.
