Method for managing virtual machine and device therefor
The present invention relates to a virtual machine, and more particularly, to a method for performing device management for a virtual machine in a terminal comprising a plurality of virtual machines, and a device therefor, the method comprising the steps of: generating a specific virtual machine; constituting at least one management object, which is required for providing device management for the specific virtual machine, in a virtualization management object; receiving a device management command from a server; checking whether the device management command is for the specific virtual machine; and processing the device management command if the device management command is for the specific virtual machine, wherein the virtualization management object includes a first node for setting up information related to the specific virtual machine and includes, below the first node, a second node for setting up information required for device management for the specific virtual machine, and the at least one management object is formed below the second node.
1. A method for performing device management for a virtual machine at a terminal including a management virtual machine, the method comprising:
creating on the terminal a plurality of virtual machines including the management virtual machine;
configuring a virtualization management object (VirMO) on the management virtual machine, wherein the VirMO includes:
a first node, for each of the plurality of virtual machines, for configuring information related to the respective virtual machine;
a second node for configuring information necessary for device management for the respective virtual machine; and
at least one management object configured under the second node to provide device management for the respective virtual machine;
receiving a device management command from a server through a VirMO client of the management virtual machine included in the terminal;
checking, by the VirMO client of the management virtual machine, whether or not the device management command is for any one of the plurality of virtual machines in view of each of the first nodes; and
processing, by the VirMO client, the device management command when the device management command is for any-one of the plurality of virtual machines, wherein the processing is performed using the at least one management object.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the VirMO further includes a node for configuring identification information of the respective virtual machine under the first node and the checking includes determining that the device management command is for the respective virtual machine identified by the identification information if the device management command is targeted at a node located under the second node.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one management object has a root node configured under the second node and the root node includes a management object identification information, and
the at least one management object is identified by the management object identification information.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the VirMO is included in a device management tree of the terminal.
5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the identification information of the respective virtual machine is provided by the terminal and uniquely indicates any one of the plurality of virtual machines within the VirMO.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
the VirMO further includes a third node for configuring information on user interaction and a fourth node for receiving a user interaction command under the first node,
the receiving the device management command includes receiving an execution command via the fourth node, and
the processing the device management command includes executing command information of the user interaction configured in the third node.
