METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VERIFYING CONFIGURATION

摘要

A computation unit detects booting of a virtual machine or a physical machine in a system. The computation unit collects configuration parameters from virtual machines or physical machines in the system. The computation unit retrieves information about a constraint on the system from a storage device, in relation to the detected booting of a virtual machine or physical machine. The computation unit determines whether the collected configuration parameters satisfy the retrieved constraint, and it controls whether to continue or discontinue the boot process of the virtual machine or physical machine, depending on the result of the determination.

主权项

1. A method for verifying configuration, comprising:
detecting, by a computer, booting of a first virtual machine or a first physical machine in a system, the first virtual machine being one of a plurality of virtual machines in the system, the first physical machine being one of a plurality of physical machines in the system; collecting, by the computer, configuration parameters from the virtual machines or the physical machines in the system, including the first virtual machine or first physical machine whose booting has been detected; retrieving, by the computer, information about a constraint on the system from a storage device, the constraint relating to booting of the first virtual machine or first physical machine; determining, by the computer, whether the collected configuration parameters satisfy the retrieved constraint; and controlling, by the computer, whether to continue or discontinue the booting of the first virtual machine or the first physical machine, depending on a result of the determining.
