CLOUDBOOT SYSTEM, VIRTUAL MACHINE WITH THE CLOUDBOOT SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR STARTING UP THE VIRTUAL MACHINE

摘要

A method for starting up a virtual machine (VM) includes: receiving a startup command from a server; determining whether the VM has installed a cloudboot system; obtaining an installation software for installing the cloudboot system and executing the installation software to install the cloudboot system if the VM has not installed a cloudboot system; starting up the cloudboot system to determine a virtual platform supporting the VM, and determine a virtual driver file corresponding to the determined virtual platform, and load the virtual driver file; determining whether there is one guest operating system is stored in the VM; and starting up the guest operating system and causing the VM to enter an operating environment of the guest operating system if there is one guest operating system is stored in the VM.

1. A cloudboot system comprising a plurality of software instructions stored in a storage unit of a virtual machine (VM) and executed by a processing unit of the VM, and various virtual driver files respectively corresponding to various virtual platforms, when the cloudboot system is started up, the cloudboot system causes the processing unit to:
determine a virtual platform supporting the VM; determine one of the virtual driver files corresponding to the virtual platform; and start up a guest operating system stored in the storage unit according to the virtual driver file.
