Abstract

Virtual machines are provided on-demand. This on-demand service is beneficial in many situations, including, for instance, providing a virtual machine on-demand to process a request. The virtual machine provided to process the request is exclusive to the request. The on-demand virtual machine is automatically activated by another virtual machine, which has control over the on-demand virtual machine. The controlling virtual machine manages the start-up, provision of resources, and the shut-down of the on-demand virtual machine.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 13 December 2005 (13.12.05); original claims 1 -27 replaced by amended claims 1 -27 (3 pages)]
1. A method of managing execution of requests of a computing environment, said method comprising: obtaining by a node of the computing environment a request to be processed; and starting a job virtual machine, having its own operating system, on the node to process the request, said job virtual machine being exclusive to the request, said node having a plurality of virtual machines; wherein a manager virtual machine, on each node, starts and terminates each job virtual machine on the node.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the starting is managed at least in part by another virtual machine of the node.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein said obtaining comprises receiving the request by another virtual machine of the node, and wherein the starting comprises starting the virtual machine by the another virtual machine.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the receiving the request comprises receiving the request from a job management service coupled to the another virtual machine.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the starting comprises providing one or more resources to the virtual machine to process the request.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising shutting down the virtual machine, in response to completing the request.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the shutting down comprises returning one or more resources provided to the virtual machine.
8. The method of claim 6, wherein said shutting down is managed at least in part by another virtual machine of the node.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein said shutting down comprises using by the another virtual machine a communications service to shut down the virtual machine.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein said obtaining comprises obtaining by another virtual machine of the node the request to be processed, and wherein the starting comprises: 16
providing by the another virtual machine to a communications service coupled to said another virtual machine and said virtual machine a start indication indicating that the virtual machine is to be started; and using the communications service to start the virtual machine.
11. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining which node of a plurality of nodes is available to process the request; and sending the request to the node determined to be available.
12. The method of claim 11, wherein said determining comprises obtaining from one or more other virtual machines of one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes information to be used in the determining.
13. The method of claim 11, wherein said plurality of nodes include at least one node that is heterogeneous to another node.
14. The method of claim 13, wherein the one node is of at least one of a different family and different generation than the another node.
15. The method of claim 1, further comprising processing the request by the virtual machine.
16. The method of claim 15, further comprising providing from said virtual machine to a job management service information regarding the request being processed.
17. The method of claim 1, wherein said virtual machine is a sanitized virtual machine.
18. A system of managing execution of requests of a computing environment, said system comprising: means for obtaining by a node of the computing environment a request to be processed; and
• means for starting a job virtual machine, having its own operating system, on the node to process the request, said job virtual machine being exclusive to the request, said node having a plurality of virtual machines; wherein a manager virtual machine, on each node, starts and terminates each job virtual machine on the node.
19. The system of claim 18, wherein said means for obtaining comprises means for receiving the request by another virtual machine of the node, 17
and wherein the means for starting comprises means for starting the virtual machine by the another virtual machine.
20. The system of claim 18, wherein the means for starting comprises means for providing one or more resources to the virtual machine to process the request.
21. The system of claim 18, further comprising means for shutting down the virtual machine, in response to completing the request.
22. The system of claim 21, wherein the shutting down is managed at least in part by another virtual machine of the node.
23. The system of claim 18, wherein said means for obtaining comprises means for obtaining by another virtual machine of the node the request to be processed, and wherein the means for starting comprises: means for providing by the another virtual machine to a communications service coupled to said another virtual machine and said virtual machine a start indication indicating that the virtual machine is to be started; and means for using the communications service to start the virtual machine.
24. The system of claim 18, further comprising: means for determining which node of a plurality of nodes is available to process the request; and means for sending the request to the node determined to be available.
25. The system of claim 24, wherein said means for determining comprises means for obtaining from one or more other virtual machines of one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes information to be used in the determining.
26. The system of claim 18, further comprising: means for processing the request by the virtual machine; and means for providing from said virtual machine to a job management service information regarding the request being processed.
27.A computer program product stored on a computer readable storage medium, for, when executed on a computer system, instructing the computer system to carry out the method of any of claims 1 -17.
