First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer system, comprising:
- a host machine comprising a plurality of compute resources;
at least one management processor;
a hypervisor;
at least one persistent state data store location coupled to the host machine, wherein the persistent state data store location stores configuration data for the hypervisor; and
a persistent state module coupled to a management processor coupled to the host machine, wherein the persistent state module maps hypervisor configuration data to a persistent state data store.

7. A method to edit configuration data of a hypervisor comprising:
-
receiving, in a host machine, a hypervisor configuration data modification request; initiating, in the host machine, a persistent state module on a management processor coupled to the persistent state data store; reading, in the host machine, the current hypervisor configuration data from the persistent state data store coupled to the persistent state module on the host machine; processing, in the host machine, the hypervisor configuration data modification request; and writing, in the host machine, the edited hypervisor configuration data to the persistent state data store coupled to the persistent state module on the host machine. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer program product comprising logic instructions stored on a computer-readable medium which, when executed by a computer processor, configure the processor to:
-
receive, in a host machine, a hypervisor configuration data modification request; initiate, in the host machine, a persistent state module on a management processor coupled to the persistent state data store; read, in the host machine, the current hypervisor configuration data from the persistent state data store coupled to the persistent state module on the host machine; process, in the host machine, the hypervisor configuration data modification request; and write, in the host machine, the edited hypervisor configuration data to the persistent state data store coupled to the persistent state module on the host machine. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
