  • Virtual machine address management
    Patent number: 8966082
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to receive reports at a server node, the reports indicating a change in virtual machine status for virtual machines hosted on a virtual machine host node; and to allocate/de-allocate addresses to the virtual machines based on the change in virtual machine status and one or more policies. Some embodiments may operate to detect, at a virtual machine host node, a change in virtual machine status for virtual machines hosted on the host node; and to transmit reports to a server node from the host node, the reports indicating the change in virtual machine status, to enable the server node to allocate/de-allocate addresses to the virtual machines based on the change in virtual machine status and one or more policies. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

  • Virtual machine software license management
    Patent number: 8595361
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to receive reports at a server node, the reports indicating a change in virtual machine status for virtual machines hosted on a virtual machine host node; and to allocate/de-allocate software licenses to the virtual machines based on the change in virtual machine status. In some embodiments, operations may include detecting, at a virtual machine host node, a change in virtual machine status for virtual machines hosted on the host node; and transmitting reports to a server node from the host node. The reports can be used to indicate the change in virtual machine status, enabling the server node to allocate/de-allocate software licenses to the virtual machines based on the change in virtual machine status. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
