Abstract
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a hypervisor receiving an error message from an agent within a first virtual machine run by the hypervisor. In response to the error message, the hypervisor determines and initiates a corrective action for the hypervisor to take in response to the error message. An exemplary corrective action includes initiating a reset of the first virtual machine or a reset of a second virtual machine.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a hypervisor, an error message from an agent within a first virtual machine running on the hypervisor;
- determining, by the hypervisor, a corrective action for the hypervisor to take in response to the error message;
- and
- initiating, by the hypervisor, the corrective action with respect to the first virtual machine or a second virtual machine in response to the error message.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform method comprising:
- receiving, by a hypervisor, an error message from an agent within a first virtual machine running on the hypervisor;
- determining, by the hypervisor, a corrective action for the hypervisor to take in response to the error message;
- and
- initiating, by the hypervisor, the corrective action with respect to the first virtual machine or a second virtual machine in response to the error message.
An apparatus comprising a processing device, wherein the processing device executes instructions that cause a hypervisor implemented by the apparatus to:
- receive an error message from an agent within a first virtual machine running on the hypervisor;
- determining, by the hypervisor, a corrective action for the hypervisor to take in response to the error message;
- and
- initiate the corrective action with respect to the first virtual machine or a second virtual machine in response to the error message.
