Computer Virtualization

Ace your homework & exams now with Quizwiz!

Media Access Control (MAC)

Upper sub layer of Data Link

Using NAS or SAN shared storage

Allows VM to be moved quickly between host computers for high availability and load balancing

Shared (NAT) ) mode

Allows access to outside networks yet isolates the VM, preventing it from sending and receiving packets across the physical network

T/F: A VM cannot share the use of a network adapter with the host

F

T/F: In virtualized computing, a single computer is capable of supporting a single operating system.

F

Private Clouds

Hosted by the company that provides private cloud service using VM's and application maintained in their own data centers

Summarize VirtualBox

VirtualBox requires Intel or AMD x86 CPU: hardware virtualization support is recommended but not required. It requires 30 MB disk space and 512 MB of RAM. You should also check memory and disk space requirements for the running guest OS's and add these requirements to the host OS requirements

COM and LPT ports

administrative console can be used to configure a VM to use standard COM and LPT ports

Hybrid Clouds

allows and organization to configure their data center so that it can off-load certain cloud services to a public cloud server during busy times

What statement regarding the use of Hyper-V is accurate? a)Hyper-V does not include support for PATA based disk systems b)Hyper-V requires a 64-bit processor with hardware virtualization support c)Hyper-V can only be used to host Microsoft based VM's d)Hyper-V includes native support for USB devices

b)Hyper-V requires a 64-bit processor with hardware virtualization support

What is the purpose of a shadow page table when a hypervisor is used? a)It tracks the amount of I/O utilized by each guest VM b)It tracks the memory pages allocated by each guest VM c)It tracks the CPU paging performance of each guest VM d)It tracks the hard disk page file usage by each guest VM

b)It tracks the memory pages allocated by each guest VM

When a Xen based guest VM makes a request for a hardware resource, such as reading from a disk, where is the request sent to? a)It is sent directly to the hardware on the host machine b)It is sent to the host OS, which then hadnles the request c)It is queued into the guest VM's I/O page table d)It is sent to the Domain 0 guest

d)It is sent to the Domain 0 guest

What type of cloud computing service provides hardware infrastructure along with necessary operating system software for running client applications? a)Software as a Service b)Hardware as a Service c)Infrastructure as a Service d)Platform as a Service

d)Platform as a Service

What virtualization technology makes it possible to avoid overhead associated with software-managed shadow page tables? a)Threaded Input/Output Translation (TIOT) b)Time Sliced Prioritizatioin Method (TSPM) c)Virtual Disk INterface Layer (VDIL) d)Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)

d)Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)

d)VMware Fusion

What hypervisor uses a special guest called Domain 0 that loads along with the hypervisor and is used to directly access the hardware a)VMWare Workstation b)VMWare ESXI c)Oracle VirtualBox d)Xen

d)Xen

Workstation virtualization

disk image file is usually stored on a local IDE disk drive

VM parenting

enables you to have a master (parent) copy of a virtual machine that can be distributed to other users. Closely related to snapshots

Templates

feature that allows you to rapidly deploy fully configured virtual machines. molds that contain a preconfigured, preloaded VM that that can be used to "stamp" out copies of a commonly used server or virtual desktop

Logical Link Control (LLC)

lower layer of 2 sublayers in a Data Link

Data Center virtualization

supports storing VM files on shared network drives such as Storage Area Network (SAN) or Network Attached Storage (NAS)
