Techniques for Surfacing Host-Side Flash Storage Capacity to Virtual Machines |
| 摘要 |
Techniques for surfacing host-side flash storage capacity to a plurality of VMs running on a host system are provided. In one embodiment, the host system creates, for each VM in the plurality of VMs, a flash storage space allocation in a flash storage device that is locally attached to the host system. The host system then causes the flash storage space allocation to be readable and writable by the VM as a virtual flash memory device. |

1. A method for surfacing host-side flash storage capacity to a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) configured to run on a host system, the method comprising:
creating, by the host system for each VM in the plurality of VMs, a flash storage space allocation in a flash storage device that is locally attached to the host system; and causing, by the host system, the flash storage space allocation to be readable and writable by the VM as a virtual flash memory device. |
