Abstract
Provided are a virtualization method and apparatus. The virtualization method applied to a main control board includes that: a resource of a line card board is allocated to a slice of a virtualization system of the main control board, wherein the slice includes: a management slice and/or an ordinary slice; and cross-board communication between the virtualization system of the main control board and a virtualization system of the line card board is implemented by means of communication between the management slice of the main control board and a management slice of the line card board.
Claims18
A virtualization method, applied to a main control board, the virtualization method comprising:
- allocating a resource of a line card board to a slice of a virtualization system of the main control board, wherein the slice comprises:
- a management slice and/or an ordinary slice;
- and
- implementing cross-board communication between the virtualization system of the main control board and a virtualization system of the line card board by means of communication between the management slice of the main control board and a management slice of the line card board, wherein
- implementing cross-board communication between the virtualization system of the main control board and a virtualization system of the line card board by means of communication between the management slice of the main control board and a management slice of the line card board comprises:
- after allocating the resource of the line card board to the ordinary slice of the main control board, forwarding data between the ordinary slice of the main control board and the virtualization system of the line card board by using the management slice of the main control board as a communication proxy of the virtualization system of the main control board.
A virtualization method, applied to a line card board, the virtualization method comprising:
- configuring a virtualization multi-slice system or a virtualization single-slice system for the line card board according to a quantity of a resource of the line card board, wherein the virtualization multi-slice system comprises:
- a management slice and an ordinary slice, and the virtualization single-slice system comprises:
- a management slice;
- and
- implementing cross-board communication between a virtualization system of the line card board and a virtualization system of a main control board by means of communication between the management slice of the line card board and a management slice of the main control board, wherein
- after the resource of the line card board is allocated to an ordinary slice of the main control board, in a case where the virtualization single-slice system is configured for the line card board, sending data to the management slice of the main control board through the management slice of the line card board.
