Abstract:
Generally described, aspects of the present disclosure relate to loading an updated virtual machine monitor on the physical computing device during a boot process. The updated virtual machine monitor may be loaded from an update manager external to the virtual machine monitor, such as the offload device or a server connected with the physical computing device over a network. In certain embodiments, the updated virtual machine monitor may be loaded in a tiered process by first loading a startup virtual machine monitor, which automatically updates by loading the updated virtual machine monitor. The startup virtual machine monitor may be a virtual machine monitor with less functionality than the updated machine manager, such as where the startup virtual machine monitor may be a “lite” or simple virtual machine monitor while the updated virtual machine monitor may be a fully functional virtual machine monitor of the most recent update or version.

Claim (Index 14):
A computer-implemented method comprising:\n initiating a boot process of a physical computing device, the physical computing device operably coupled to an offload device via an interconnect interface on the physical computing device; interrupting the boot process upon receiving a boot process interrupt from the offload device; loading a first version of a virtual machine monitor stored in memory on the offload device into memory on the physical computing device, wherein the first version of the virtual machine monitor performs a portion of the functions associated with the boot process; receiving an update to the first version of the virtual machine monitor from an update manager external to the physical computing system, wherein the update to the first version of the virtual machine monitor results in a second version of the virtual machine monitor; and continuing the boot process using the second version of the virtual machine monitor in the memory of the physical computing device, wherein the second version of the virtual machine monitor completes functions associated with the boot process.
