Virtual Machine Architecture

 Virtual Machine Architecture

A virtual machine can exist as a standalone machine or it can exist within a vApp.

A virtual machine is a software computer that, like a physical computer, runs an operating system and applications. The virtual machine consists of a set of specification and configuration files and is backed by the physical resources of a host. Every virtual machine has virtual devices that provide the same functionality as physical hardware are more portable, more secure, and easier to manage. Virtual machines can be standalone, or they can exist within a vApp. A vApp is compound object composed of one or more virtual machines as well as one or more networks.

1.   Monolithic architecture

2.   Layerd archtecture.

3.    Virtual machine architecture

4.     Exokernel architecture

5.    Client server architecture 

6.     Micro kernel architecture

The following figure shows the different options when creating a virtual machine. You can create a standalone virtual machine. In this case, the virtual machine is directly connected the organization VDC. Or, you can create a virtual machine within a vApp. Ceating a virtual machine inside of a vApp allows you to group together multiple virtual machines and their associated networks. vApps allow you to build complex applications, and save them for future use in a catalog.

Defination of OS(operating system) and its concepts

    What do you mean by operating system?     Definition :  An operating system is a program that act as an interface between the user of a computer and the                                      Computer hardware. Operating system is a first program that gets loaded into the memory through a process called booting. Concepts of operating system : ·                       The purpose of operating system is to provide an environment in which a user can execute program in a convenient and efficient manner. ·                       Operating system is an integrated set of program that ma...

Process Termination or destroy a process

  Process Termination or destroy a process Processes may request their own termination by making the  exit( )  system call, typically returning an int. This int is passed along to the parent if it is doing a  wait( ) , and is typically zero on successful completion and some non-zero code in the event of problems. child code: int exitCode; exit( exitCode ); // return exitCode; has the same effect when executed from main( ) parent code: pid_t pid; int status pid = wait( &status ); // pid indicates which child exited. exitCode in low-order bits of status // macros can test the high-order bits of status for why it stopped Processes may also be terminated by the system for a variety of reasons, including: The inability of the system to deliver necessary system resources. In response to a KILL command, or other un handled process interrupt. A parent may kill its children if the task a...

Classification of Operating System

  Classification of operating systems The operating systems may be classified into different types depending upon the nature of interaction between the user and his/her program. The various types of operating system are : 1.       single user operating system    2.        Multi user operating system   3.         Batch processing operating system 4.        Multi programming operating system   5.       Multi tasking operating system   6.         Multiprocessing operating system 7.         Time sharing operating system 8.       Real time system      Distributed system Multi threading operating system       Single user operating system ·          ...

Application Of Threads

  Application Of Threads This section discuss various implementation of threads. Multithreading concepts are implemented by pthread (POSIX standard), solaris, linux, window 2000 and java. 1. POSIX THREAD(Pthreads) ·          Pthread refers to the POSIX standard(IEEE 1003.IC) that defines an API for thread creation and sychronisation. ·          Prior to the of POSIX THREADS, each hardware vendor implemented their own version of threads. ·          As each implemented from the other, writing portable multithreaded application was difficult. Thus POSIX standardize the API for thread management. ·          The current Pthread API is defined only for C programming language and it is implemented as function with a header file Pthread.h and thread library. ·          The naming...

Multi processing system

  Multi processing system ·           Multi processesor system is the sytem that contain two or more processors or CPUS and has ability to simultaneously execute     several programs. Hence the name multi-processor In such a system, multiple processor share the clock, bus, memory and peripheral devices. ·           A multi processor system is also known as parallel system ·           Multi processor system are categorized into two different types:                single user operating system    2.        Multi user operating system   3.         Batch processing operating system 4.        Multi programming operating system   5.       Multi tasking operating sy...
