Abstract
Methods, architectures, software/firmware and systems for enabling concurrent administration of host operating systems and virtual machine-hosted operating systems. Techniques are disclosed for monitoring and reporting various administrative data (e.g., performance data, event data, log data, etc.), as well as enabling allocation and reallocation of system resources, such as physical memory and disk space. The techniques support implementation of user-interfaces hosted by a virtual machine operating system or a host operating system that enable administrators and the like to manage operations of virtual machines and hosts via a unified interface. Moreover, the techniques support concurrent management of different operating system types.
