Abstract
Description
- The instant application is a continuation of and claims priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/395,943, filed Mar. 2, 2009, entitled REMOTE PROVISIONING OF VIRTUAL MACHINES, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,819,113, issued on Aug. 26, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
- This invention relates to virtual machines and to the provisioning of new virtual machines on a virtual network host.
- Virtual machines are configured on virtual machine hosts, of which Microsoft Virtual Server, VMWare Server, VMWare ESX Server, are commercially available examples. Typically, the virtual machine host is protected by a firewall which prevents external communications from remote machines outside of the virtual network. It is therefore difficult to remotely provision new virtual machines from outside of a virtual machine network.
- What is required is a system, method and computer readable medium for remotely provisioning virtual machines on a virtual machine host platform from a vendor independent configuration.
- In one aspect of the disclosure, there is provided a method for remotely provisioning a virtual machine. The method comprises providing a client application in a network comprising a virtual network host, providing a server application in a machine remote from the network, receiving one or more provisioning parameters from a user through the server application, communicating the one or more provisioning parameters from the sever application to the client application, communicating the one or more provisioning parameters from the client application to the virtual network host, and provisioning a virtual machine on the virtual network host from the one or more provisioning parameters.
- In one aspect of the disclosure, there is provided a system for provisioning virtual machines on a virtual machine host within a network. The system comprises a server application configured to receive one or more provisioning parameters of a virtual machine, and a client application configured to receive the one or more provisioning parameters from the server application and to provision a virtual machine on the virtual machine host.
- In one aspect of the disclosure there is provided a computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for execution by a processor, that, when executed, cause a first processor to provide an interface on a remote machine to receive one or more virtual machine provisioning parameters in a host independent format, receive one or more virtual machine provisioning parameters through the interface, and communicate the one or more virtual machine provisioning parameters in a host independent format to a client application within a network.
- Reference will now be made, by way of example only, to specific embodiments and to the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a system for remotely provisioning a virtual machine; -
FIG. 2 illustrates a method for remotely provisioning a virtual machine; -
FIG. 3 illustrates a processor and memory of remote machine that executes a server application; -
FIG. 4 illustrates an instruction set that may be executed on the processor and memory ofFIG. 3 ; and -
FIG. 5 illustrates the processor and memory ofFIG. 3 in association with a processor and memory of a network machine that executes a client application. - In
FIG. 1 , there is shown asystem 10 in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure. In thesystem 10, avirtual network 13 includes avirtual machine host 16 such as a vendor specific virtual machine server, of which Microsoft Virtual Server, VMWare Server, VMWare ESX Server, are commercially available examples. Aserver application 12 is provided on a machine external to anetwork 15. The server application may be provided as a web application with a suitable interface allowing theuser 11 to enter virtual machine provisioning parameters. A web application may be provided from a web server (not shown) within thevirtual network 13. Provisioning parameters may include drives, memory, guest operating system, etc. These provisioning parameters may be provided independent of any virtual machine host vendor. In one embodiment, the virtual machine provisioning parameters may be entered via a web based form, though a person skilled in the art will readily recognize other ways in which these parameters may be entered. Example parameters that may be specified through the web based form include the number of CPU the virtual machine will have, amount of memory, network drivers, SCSI IDE drives, etc., though a person skilled in the art will readily understand a full range of provisioning parameters may be specified, including some vendor specific parameters where required. - The
virtual machine host 16 is typically provided with a firewall which prevents direct communication with the virtual machine host from outside of thenetwork 13. In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, thevirtual network 13 includes aclient application 14 which provides acommunication channel 19 between theserver application 12 via theoutside network 15 on one end and between thevirtual machine host 16 on the other end. - A method for provisioning a virtual machine on the
virtual machine host 16 is illustrated in theflowchart 100 ofFIG. 2 . Once theclient application 14 andserver application 12 have been provided atsteps user 11 may provide one or more virtual machine provisioning parameters. These provisioning parameters are received by the server application 12 (step 103) and communicated to theclient application 14 through the network 15 (step 104). Theclient application 14 communicates the provisioning parameters to the virtual machine host 16 (step 105) which then provisions the new virtual machine in accordance with the provisioning parameters (step 106). Provisioning may be performed by the client application running in the host. There are several steps the client may take to complete the provisioning, depending on the parameters passed. For example, the provisioning parameters may include the number of CPU only, so the client running on the host may only create a virtual machine with the specified number of CPU and using default values for the other virtual machine configuration parameters. - The client application may reside on any machine within the
virtual network 13 including the virtual machine host itself. However, theclient application 14 is configured with a communication channel that allows it to communicate with outside machines through any network firewalls. - The virtual machine configuration parameters are specified independent of the virtual machine vendor. Therefore, the user provisioning the virtual machine need not be aware of the virtual machine platform vendor. The virtual machine configuration details are transported in a vendor independent format over the network and are only instantiated into a vendor specific definition at the point of direct interaction with the
virtual machine host 16. The client application performs all the marshalling required to translate the configuration parameters specified by the user into vendor specific parameters. Typically, there is a great deal of commonality among different virtualization vendors. In one embodiment, theclient application 14 includes an associateddata store 17 of provisioning code which stores code blocks for provisioning different parameters of virtual machines for the variety of available virtual machine host vendors. Once a vendor machine host is specified or selected, the client application selects the appropriate code blocks for configuring the specified parameters. The code blocks are combined into a vendor specific instruction set that executes within the host to perform the provisioning. - In a network having multiple
virtual machine hosts 16, the machine provisioning parameters may include a specification of which virtual machine host the new virtual machine is to be provisioned on. - The components of the
systems 10 may be embodied in hardware, software, firmware or a combination of hardware, software and/or firmware. In a hardware embodiment, theserver application 12 may be executed on a device, such as a computer, etc including aprocessor 61 operatively associated with amemory 62 as shown inFIG. 3 . Thememory 62 may store instructions that are executable on theprocessor 61. An instruction set 200 that may be executed on theprocessor 61 is depicted in the flowchart ofFIG. 3 . Specifically, when executed, theinstruction set 200 allows the processor to provide the server application through an interface (step 201), which allows the user to enter virtual machine provisioning parameters. The provisioning parameters are recorded by the processor 61 (step 202) and communicated to the client application (step 203) in a host independent format. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , theprocessor 61 may communicate through asuitable communications link 65 with further processors, such as aprocessor 71 of a machine within thenetwork 13 with associatedmemory 72. Through thecommunications link 65, theprocessor 61 may provide the virtual machine provisioning parameters. Theprocessor 71 may execute the client application in order to receive the virtual machine provisioning parameters and trigger the provisioning of a new virtual machine on the virtual machine host. - Although embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described in the foregoing description, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, but is capable of numerous rearrangements, modifications, and substitutions without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth and defined by the following claims. For example, the capabilities of the invention can be performed fully and/or partially by one or more of the blocks, modules, processors or memories. Also, these capabilities may be performed in the current manner or in a distributed manner and on, or via, any device able to provide and/or receive information. Further, although depicted in a particular manner, various modules or blocks may be repositioned without departing from the scope of the current invention. Still further, although depicted in a particular manner, a greater or lesser number of modules and connections can be utilized with the present invention in order to accomplish the present invention, to provide additional known features to the present invention, and/or to make the present invention more efficient. Also, the information sent between various modules can be sent between the modules via at least one of a data network, the Internet, an Internet Protocol network, a wireless source, and a wired source and via plurality of protocols.
