APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING VIRTUALIZED HARDWARE RESOURCES WITHIN A VIRTUAL EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT |
摘要 |
<p>Embodiments described are generally directed to a system and method for providing virtualized hardware resources within a virtual execution environment. In one embodiment, it is determined whether an operating system (OS) is a guest OS running within a virtual execution environment of a host platform. If an OS is determined to be a guest OS within a virtual execution environment, a virtual driver is provided for the virtual execution to fetch host hardware initiator information from a host server via a virtualization layer. In one embodiment, no corresponding guest driver is available to the virtual execution environment. In one embodiment, the virtualization layer provides virtualized hardware resources, including the virtual driver, for a virtual execution environment. Using the host hardware initiator information, in one embodiment, one or more virtual storage devices may be created within the host attached storage of the host platform. Other embodiments are described and claimed.</p> |
