Abstract:
A method for operating virtual machines on a virtualization platform, the method comprising: embedding, preferably by a toolstack of the virtualization platform, control information in a predetermined memory area of a front-end virtual machine where at least one virtual device is to be initialized, wherein said control information is required for initiating a communication with a back-end virtual machine where at least one back-end driver runs; retrieving, by the front-end virtual machine, said control information from said predetermined memory area of the front-end virtual machine; and performing the communication between the front-end virtual machine and the back-end virtual machine via a direct communication channel in order to exchange information for initializing said at least one virtual device of the front-end virtual machine, in particular by communicating with said at least one back-end driver via said direct communication channel, wherein said direct communication channel is established based on said control information embedded in said predetermined memory area of the front-end virtual machine. Furthermore, a corresponding virtualization platform is disclosed.

Claim (Index 15):
A computer program comprising instructions which, when the computer program is executed by a computer, cause and/or provide the virtualization platform of  claim 14  to execute a method for operating virtual machines on the virtualization platform, the method comprising:\n embedding control information in a predetermined memory area of a front-end virtual machine where at least one virtual device is to be initialized, wherein the control information is required for initiating a communication with a back-end virtual machine where at least one back-end driver runs; \n retrieving, by the front-end virtual machine, the control information from the predetermined memory area of the front-end virtual machine; and \n performing the communication between the front-end virtual machine and the back-end virtual machine via a direct communication channel to exchange information for initializing the at least one virtual device of the front-end virtual machine, by communicating with the at least one back-end driver via the direct communication channel, wherein the direct communication channel is established based on the control information embedded in the predetermined memory area of the front-end virtual machine.
