METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LOGGING INTO A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT EXECUTING ON A HOST
First Claim
1. A method for logging into a guest virtual environment (VE) from a host VE, comprising:
- receiving a request to log into the guest VE from the host VE;
in response to the request, creating a virtual terminal driver (VTD), wherein the VTD comprises a host extender located in the host VE and a guest extender located in a sub-host VE, wherein the host VE and sub-host VE are configured to communicate using a master terminal and a slave terminal;
providing the guest extender to the third VE as a virtual serial terminal (VST); and
logging into the guest VE using the master terminal, the slave terminal, a virtual environment manager (VEM), and the VTD, wherein the VEM is managing the guest VE.

Abstract
A method for logging into a guest virtual environment (VE) from a host VE. The method includes receiving a request to login into the guest VE from the host VE. In response to the request, creating a virtual terminal driver (VTD). The VTD comprises a host extender located in the host VE and a guest extender located in a sub-host VE. The host VE and sub-host VE are configured to communicate using a master terminal and a slave terminal. Providing the guest extender to the third VE as a virtual serial terminal (VST). Logging into the guest VE using the master terminal, the slave terminal, a virtual environment manager (VEM), and the VTD, where the VEM is managing the guest VE.

12. A system comprising:
-
a processor; a host virtual environment (VE), executing on the processor, comprising a master terminal; a sub-host VE, configured to communicate with the host VE via a slave terminal connected to the master terminal; a guest VE; a virtual terminal driver (VTD), comprising; a userspace buffer and a host buffer, located in the host VE; a host extender, located in the host VE configured to read and write the userspace buffer and the host buffer; a guest extender, located in the sub-host VE, configured to pass data between the host buffer and the virtual machine as a virtual serial terminal (VST); and a virtual environment manager (VEM), configured to manage the guest VE, and communicate with the VTD. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions, which when executed on a processor, perform a method, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request to log into a guest virtual environment (VE) from a host VE, wherein the guest VE is managed by a VEM; in response to the request, creating a virtual terminal driver (VTD), wherein the VTD comprises a host extender located in the host VE and a guest extender located in a sub-host VE, wherein the host VE and sub-host VE are configured to communicate using a master terminal and a slave terminal; providing the guest extender to the guest VE as a virtual serial terminal (VST); and logging into the guest VE using the master terminal, the slave terminal, the VEM, and the VTD. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
