Abstract: The present application is directed to dynamic reassignment for multi-OS devices. An example device may comprise equipment, at least two operating systems, a kernel for each OS to provide an interface between the OS and the equipment and a virtual machine manager (VMM). OS selection agents in each OS may interact with a kernel mode controller (KMC) in the VMM. For example, the OS selection agent may transmit a message instructing the KMC to transition the foreground OS to the background and transition a background OS to the foreground. The KMC may transmit signals to the kernels of the foreground and background operating systems causing at least one driver in the foreground OS kernel to save a current equipment state and release control over the equipment while also causing at least one driver in the background OS kernel to restore an equipment state and to take control over the equipment.

Abstract: A management computer stores, in a memory, virtual logical volume management information showing information on virtual logical volumes provided to a host computer by a storage device, and pool management information showing information related to a use status of pools. The management computer acquires performance information related to an access to the storage device from the host computer, determines whether the acquired performance related to the access satisfies a predetermined first required performance, or not, and specifies any virtual logical volume which is a cause of the state based on the virtual logical volume management information if the first required performance is not satisfied. The management computer calculates a capacity consumption trend of the real area included in each pool based on the pool management information, creates a countermeasure for satisfying the first required performance implementable after a given time, and outputs the countermeasure to an output device.

Abstract: Technologies for multi-level virtualization include a computing device having a processor that supports a root virtualization mode and a non-root virtualization mode. A non-root hypervisor determines whether it is executed under control of a root hypervisor, and if so, registers a callback handler and trigger conditions with the root hypervisor. The non-root hypervisor hosts one or more virtual machines. In response to a virtual machine exit, the root hypervisor determines whether a callback handler has been registered for the virtual machine exit reason and, if so, evaluates the trigger conditions associated with the callback handler. If the trigger conditions are satisfied, the root hypervisor invokes the callback handler. The callback handler may update a virtual virtualization support object based on changes made by the root hypervisor to a virtualization support object. The root hypervisor may invoke the callback handler in the non-root virtualization mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for secure inter-virtual-machine shared memory communication include a computing device with hardware virtualization support. A virtual machine monitor (VMM) authenticates a view switch component of a target virtual machine. The VMM adds configures a secure memory view to access a shared memory segment.

The view switch component may switch to the secure memory view by modifying an extended page table (EPT) pointer. The target virtual machine accesses the shared memory segment via the secure memory view. The target virtual machine and the source virtual machine may coordinate ownership of memory pages using a secure view control structure stored in the shared memory segment. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
