Virtual machine starting method and equipment

Abstract

According to the virtual machine starting method and equipment, the diskless technology is applied to the cloud game scene on the basis of the pre-starting execution environment (PXE), so that the virtual machine runs in a memory, quick starting can be achieved, and the storage space is not occupied. According to the invention, the distributed DHCP service and the TFTP service are deployed on eachphysical host machine node through the cloud platform control module; in combination with a virtual power supply control module compatible with an IPMI instruction, a mirror image storage server is used for directly issuing a mirror image to start the virtual machine without using a main storage method, so that diskless quick start of the cloud game virtual machine is achieved. According to the method, the distributed DHCP service and the TFTP service are used, the virtual machine power management module compatible with the IPMI instruction is combined, then the mirror image storage server isused for directly issuing the mirror image to start the virtual machine, a main storage method is not used, and diskless quick start of the cloud game virtual machine is achieved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a method and device for starting a virtual machine. Background technique

[0002] In the cloud game scene, the game progress is usually saved with the user account, and there is no local data to save. Therefore, if the cloud platform uses the primary storage provided by traditional cloud computing, it will cause waste of storage space.

[0003] In the traditional PXE service, when the client starts, it will uniformly send a broadcast packet to obtain the DHCP information and the system boot program in the TFTP service, and then load the system image stored on the shared file server according to the address in the system additional file. Since multiple DHCP servers are not allowed in the same network environment, in the case of high concurrent requests, the single-point PXE service will encounter the problem of heavy pressure and slow response, resulting in long virtual machine startup ti...

Embodiment Construction

[0047] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] In a typical configuration of the present application, the terminal, the device serving the network and the trusted party all include one or more processors (CPUs), input / output interfaces, network interfaces and memory.

[0049] Memory may include non-permanent storage in computer readable media, in the form of random access memory (RAM) and / or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) or flash RAM. Memory is an example of computer readable media.

[0050] Computer-readable media, including both permanent and non-permanent, removable and non-removable media, can be implemented by any method or technology for storage of information. Information may be computer readable instructions, data structures, modules of a program, or other data. Examples of computer storage media include, but are not limited to, phase change memory (PRAM), static rando...
