SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SIMULATING VIRTUAL MACHINE (VM) PLACEMENT IN VIRTUAL DATACENTERS

摘要

A placement simulator is used for testing a placement engine in a virtual machine environment. The placement simulator includes a simulation controller, an event manager, and an inventory manager. The simulation controller receives input data for a simulated datacenter. The event manager invokes event handlers for a sequence of events from the input data. The inventory manager stores states of inventory objects to simulate deployment of virtual infrastructure resources by the placement engine based on the sequence of the events.

1. A placement simulator for testing a placement engine in a virtual machine environment, the placement simulator comprising:
a simulation controller to receive input data for a simulated datacenter; an event manager coupled to the simulation controller, the event manager to invoke event handlers for a sequence of events from the input data; and an inventory manager coupled to the event manager, the inventory manager to simulate deployment of virtual infrastructure resources by the placement engine based on the sequence of the events.
