九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 發明領域 本發明—般係關於處理系統虛擬機器資訊之領域,並 5且尤其是關於用於虛擬機器中的集中化軟體管理之系統與 方法。
Γ Λ. 'J 發明背景 隨者資訊值量和使用繼續增加,個人和商業尋找另外 10的方法以處理和儲存資訊。一個可供使用者的選擇是資訊 處理系統。一資訊處理系統-般處理、編譯、儲存、及/或 通说用於商業、個人、或其他用途的資訊或資料,因而允 許使用者採取資訊數值之優點。因為技術和資訊處理需要 以及需求在不同的使用者或應用者之間變化,資訊處理系 15統同時也可關於什麼資訊被操縱處理、該資訊如何被操縱 • 4理、多少資訊被處理、被儲存、或被通訊,並且該資訊 可如何快速地且有效地被處理、被儲存、或被通訊而變化。 貢訊處理系統中之變化允許處理系統之資訊被一般化或被 組態以供用於一特定之使用者或特定之使用,例如,財政 2〇父易處理、航程保留、企業資料儲存、或全球通訊。此外, 貝訊處理系統可包含多種硬體和軟體構件,其可被組態以 處理、儲存、和通訊資訊並且可包含一個或多個電腦系統、 資料儲存系統、以及網路系統。 資訊處理系統一般處理一個或多個應用的資訊,其是 1311256 濟Ί -¾修正替換-& 於-協調硬體構件操作之操作系統上執行。雖然離散 處理系統是用於管理相關之特定場所或動作的資訊之有: 工具’通常資訊處理純之處理能力在不相時_期時 是未被充分利用的。例如,相關於特定的商業功能 5處理系統可處於閒置狀態經延伸之週期,因而可供時 之所用的。在該等閒置週期之期間,該實際的處理構件⑽ 如,處理H和儲存構件節肖耗功錢且降低驗商業 限的添加價值。商業一般接受用於具有線上必要資 系統之便利交換的閒置週期成本並且備妥以供用 10操作。 要之 -種關於資源虛擬化之使用的新近轉移,允許商業上 具有離散資訊處理系統之便利性,而不必支出維持和操作 分離實際系統之費用。資源虛擬化利用置放該軟體應用於" 虛擬機器"容H中而自硬體資訊處理线將軟體應用解相 15合。-虛擬機器是硬體層之軟體抽取物,該硬體層提供具 籲 冑正如ί§]於f際資訊處理纟統之被安裝的操作系統和應 用之所有實際硬體系統的功能。一種習見的虛擬機器實際 上可被視為兩個檔案,一是軟體影像以及一是通用硬體組 態檔案,其可以是依據於可擴展標示語言(XML)。該軟體 2〇影像代表用於該等虛擬機器之硬碟驅動,一般被稱為一”虛 擬碟"。該虛擬碟—般包含操作安裝檔案、應用檔案以及使 用者資料檔案。複數的虛擬機器被儲存於網路伺服器環境 中,一般被稱為虛擬資料中心,因而當需要時,所需的虛 擬機器是可供用於伺服器資源上操作。虛擬機器不被限制 Ι3Π256 97. 6 . 十 Τ" 於特定資源實例,因而資源可被供應並且當需要時則動雜 也重新裁製於其應用,並且反之亦然,應用可依要求在資 源之間遷移而供資源用途轉移。虛擬機器硬體組態檔案包 含裁製和目前-連結細節以支援跨越硬體之虛擬機器的移 5 動,並且反之亦然。 —般,一虛擬資料中心管理具有資料_中心_廣泛資料模式 (例如’微軟系統定義模式(SDM)和EDS資料中心標示)之虛 擬機器,其藉由使用靜態和非分佈資料而允許組態分享跨 越敕體生命週期、管理系統以及虛擬化系統。但是,在一 1〇虛擬資料中心之内,軟體維持牢固地被耦合於管理和控制 系統,其接著牢固地耦合管理系統與硬體和使用者。換言 於各種Η源上進行之虛擬機器的彈性由於虛擬機器和 虛擬資料中心之管理(例如,更動、性能、位置、優先權以 及特權之管理)而被限制。作為一範例,於一資料中心環境 中,軟體官理被分佈於必須分別地被管理之各個可應用系 、先中這使得軟體管理操作,例如,修補管理冗長和耗時。 為了完成軟體安裝,修補管理和安全更動,資料中心中各 $系統必須依據㈣碰升級且安全修魏絲。一般的 資料中心具有數千的虛擬機器,因而資源是不足以在相同 20時間更動所有的虛擬機器,而導致不同成分環境之有一些 系統被升級並且一些使用老的版本。追縱系統升級以破保 所有的系統被升級呈現一主要的邏輯問題,當修補被釋出 /丄<是年被重複許多次^在―虛擬資料中心之内 的軟體同時也維持牢固地耦合至使用者並且使用者般之服 7 j i 1311256
換頁I 務,例如,利用以四配至使用者之軟體限制軟體之使用以 確保軟體和硬體依附於使用者特定偏好(例如,安全、隔 離、使用以及付款/扣款)。 Γ發明内容3 5 發明概要 因此需要一種系統與方法,其使用虛擬機器以自使用 者和服務將軟體解耦合。 進一步地需要有一種系統與方法,其使用虛擬機器以 自管理和控制系統將軟體解耦合。 10 進一步地需要有一種系統與方法,其簡化跨越一虛擬 資料中心之虛擬機器軟體的軟體管理。 依據本發明,一種系統與方法被提供,其顯著地降低 相關於先前方法和系統對於管理虛擬資料中心之虛擬機器 的缺點和問題。虛擬機器之執行期實例自被耦合至該等虛 15 擬機器之管理組態資訊以及使用者/服務組態資訊被產 生。因此,虛擬機器有效地被使用以自使用者以及使用者 般之服務將虛擬資料中心管理和控制系統解耦合。 更明確地說,虛擬資料中心之虛擬機器包含一軟體影 像和伺服器硬體組態,其當被一資源虛擬化引擎所指定 20 時,則於伺服器硬體資源上執行。此外,各個虛擬機器包 含具有管理偏好之一分別的管理組態以及具有使用者偏好 之使用者/服務組態。該等管理偏好包含對於管理相關功能 (例如,如功率環境控制、冷卻和平衡、策略、最小、最大 或使用者、軟體或硬體之限制)的資訊。一資源使用監視引 1311256 F/. ΰ· - 5 — 年月日修正替換頁 擎於—具有廣域策略引擎之關閉迴路中監視被致動之虛擬 "、依據°亥等官理偏好而調整跨越伺服器資源之處理 ,件的虛擬機器之安置。使用者/服務騎包含對於虛擬機 :"權牙成本以及其他的參數(例如,備份偏好和頻率或 準)之^訊使用者/服務和管理組態使虛擬機器跨越 通用硬體、使用者和系統管理能自足而動態地分配至處理 構件以符合所需的管理和服務目的。
於-實施例中’管理和使用者/服務組態維持資訊以允 許自-應用唯讀影像之虛擬機器實例的產生。例如,管理 10組態追蹤應用型式並且使用者/服務組態追蹤系統獨特資 訊。取代用於各個虛擬機器之一分離虛擬碟片,—共用严 擬碟片被使用於分享相同之操作系統和應用的多數虛擬機 器中,而具有一分離虛擬碟片被使用於獨特地針對於分別 的虛擬機器之檔案,例如,使用者資料檔案。一特定虛擬 15機器實例自駐居來自獨特虛擬碟之獨特資訊的共用虛擬碟 之複製而執行。利用該實例被產生之資訊被寫入至該獨特 的虛擬碟,而該共用虛擬碟被維持作為唯讀,以保,使用 該共用虚擬碟片之其他虛擬機器的整體性。改變該共用虛 擬碟的存取疋受限制,例如,受限制於一修補管理哭 ,其 20具有寫入許可以針對應用而於該共用虛擬碟上安裴修補或 安全更動。例如’ 一修補跨越多數虛擬機器地被安襄,其 藉由關閉所有使用共用虛擬碟的執行實例,施加該等修補 至該共用虚擬碟,並且自該被更動之共用虛擬碟而重新門 始該等多數虚擬機器,因而實例以該等修補而執行。 1311256 丨 ' r:' 本發明提供一些重要技術性的優點。一重要技術性優 點的範例是該等虛擬機器被使用以自一虛擬資料中心之管 理和控制系統而將軟體解耦合。管理和控制之解耦合允許 一更有彈性的模式,其匹配於使用者、軟體和硬體之一般 5 系統的管理,管理多數個系統,允許管理、使用者、軟體 或硬體的獨立改變,即使當執行一虛擬機器時亦然,並且 確保管理依附於策略法則,例如,環境應允,以及硬體依 附於管理特定限制(例如,策略或最大實際限制)。自管理和 ® 控制之軟體的解耦允許軟體無關於管理而改變、當管理系 10 統存取它時之更動執行和狀態軟體並且簡化管理系統更 動,例如,對於在看得見的管理器改變、性能、位置、優 先序以及特權。虛擬機器是跨越一般的硬體、使用者、以 及系統管理而自足以提供一完全且可複製之快照,其簡化 虛擬資料中心工具類目,例如,診斷、檢查點、備份、翻 15 版、暫緩執行/重新開始以及扣款/付款。在一虛擬機器之内 I 的檔案版本簡化管理更動之追蹤並且該分離管理組態檔案 9 允許對一虛擬機器内之組態進行作用為主的存取。在一虛 擬機器内的檔案版本簡化了更動之追蹤,並且分離的使用 者組態檔案允許對一虛擬機器内之組態作角色為主的存 20 取。 重要技術性優點的另一範例是虛擬機器被使用以自虛 擬資料中心之使用者和服務將軟體解耦合。使用者和服務 之解耦合允許更有彈性的模式,其匹配軟體應用與使用 者,確保軟體依附於使用者特定之偏好(例如,安全性),並 10 1311256 隔離性,使 且確保依硬體附於使用者-特定之偏好,例如, 用性以及付款/扣款。自使用者和服務之軟體解減許軟體 無關於使用者而改變、當使用者存取它時則更動執行和狀 態軟體’並且簡化使用者更動於觀看、性能、位置、優先 5 序及特權。 虛擬機器-重要技術性優點之另_範例是跨越—虛擬資 料中心之軟體管理被簡化。一種針對應用之修補被施加至 該應用之-唯讀複製。包含該應用之虛擬機器自唯讀影像 開啟以包含該修補’因而單一次施加該修補至該應用有效 1〇地更動包含該應用之所有的虛擬機器。該唯讀影像之使用 以支援多數個虛擬機器之開啟將降低在該虛擬資料中心的 全部儲存’因為該應用之唯讀複製可以被維持而作為該應 用之僅有永久複製,並且所有的虛擬機器使用該唯讀複製 而分享有關於該應用之—共用狀態。此外,具有相同組態 15之虛擬機器的翻版是可以降低的時間而進行,因為相關於 δ亥應用的使用者服務組態檔案被複製而不需要複製該整個 應用此外,應用自足有充分資訊而無關於特定使用者以 及服務H管理或魏之連結。 圖式簡單說明 本發月可較佳地被了解,並且那些熟習本技術者應明 白,其之弄多目的、特點以及優點將藉由參考附圖而更明 白。在所有圖形中相同參考數碼之使用指示相同或相似之 元件。 第1圖展不虛擬資料中心之方塊圖,其具有相關於各個 1311256 虛擬機器的管理組態和使用者/服務組態;
