Abstract

See full text

Techniques for facilitating parallelized configuration of multiple virtual machines. The techniques include duplicating commands received from an administrator and controlling the multiple virtual machines with those commands in a parallel manner. Different types of commands are treated differently. More specifically, commands for controlling software executing in the virtual machines are replicated and sent to each virtual machine. By contrast, commands for managing virtual machines themselves are provided to virtualization software like a hypervisor to be executed. Duplication of the commands for controlling software executing in the virtual machines is performed by an input/output multiplexer, which also has the function of combining display output from each of the virtual machines. More specifically, the input/output multiplexer displays a common display output to the administrator, where the common display output is the screen that is shown on each of the virtual machines.
