Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for data swap in a virtual machine environment. The present invention provides a method for data swap in a virtual machine environment, including: in response to a swap request from a virtual machine, looking up storage space associated with the swap request; and allocating to the virtual machine free physical storage space, in a host, which matches the storage space, so that the free physical storage space logically becomes available storage space to the virtual machine; the virtual machine is running on the host, and the storage space is physical storage space in the host.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for data swap in a virtual machine environment, comprising: establishing a channel used for transmitting data associated with a swap request, in response to a device mounting request from a virtual machine; looking up storage space associated with the swap request, in response to the swap request from the virtual machine; and allocating to the virtual machine free physical storage space in a host wherein the free physical storage space mat…
