Abstract
An exemplary system may allow concurrent access to a device by different virtual machines. In one embodiment, the system receives a request to add a virtual machine (VM) of a plurality of virtual machines to a host, the request identifying a device that is shared by the plurality of virtual machines. The system creates a VM-specific rule for the device based on the VM. The system stores the VM-specific rule for the device in association with the VM.
Claims18
A method, implemented by a computing system, comprising:
- receiving, by the computing system, a request to add a virtual machine (VM) of a plurality of virtual machines to a host, the request identifying a device that is shared by the plurality of virtual machines;
- creating, by the computing system, a VM-specific rule for the device based on the VM;
- and
- storing, by the computing system, the VM-specific rule for the device in association with the VM.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by the processing device, a request to add a virtual machine (VM) of a plurality of virtual machines to a host, the request identifying a device that is shared by the plurality of virtual machines;
- creating, by the processing device, a VM-specific rule for the device based on the VM;
- and
- storing, by the processing device, the VM-specific rule for the device in association with the VM.
A computing device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the memory, wherein the processing device is configured to:
- receive a request to add a virtual machine (VM) of a plurality of virtual machines to a host, the request identifying a device that is shared by the plurality of virtual machines;
- create a VM-specific rule for the device based on the VM;
- and
- store the VM-specific rule for the device in association with the VM.
