Method, device, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for creating virtual machine

1. A method comprising:

receiving, via a controlling Baseboard management controller (BMC), a request for a virtual machine (VM);

providing, via the controlling BMC, a notification for requesting to create the VM to one or more candidate BMCs, to make at least one of the candidate BMCs provide an available response in response to resources monitored by the at least one of the candidate BMCs are sufficient for the VM, wherein the resources include CPU loading, memory usage, or storage usage, wherein the notification for requesting is terminated when the available response is received or a timeout occurs; and

assigning, via the controlling BMC, an assigned BMC to perform a VM creating operation according to the available response, such that the assigned BMC requests one or more processors corresponding thereto to create the VM;

wherein the controlling BMC and the one or more candidate BMC subscribe a first communication channel, and the controlling BMC provide the notification for requesting the VM to the one or more candidate BMCs via the first communication channel;

wherein the controlling BMC provides the notification for requesting the VM with a resource requirement via the first communication channel, so as to make the one or more candidate BMCs determine whether resources monitored thereby satisfy the resource requirement, and make the one or more candidate BMCs accordingly determine whether to provide the available response, wherein several candidate BMCs in the candidate BMCs are available to create the request VM, the controlling BMC assign one of the several candidate BMCs to create the VM according to a priority, wherein the priority is present, determined according to the response times relative to the notification for requesting the VM, or determined according to the resources in the several candidate BMCs.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controlling BMC assigns the assigned BMC to perform the VM creating operation via the first communication channel.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controlling BMC and the one or more candidate BMC subscribe a second communication channel, and the at least one of the candidate BMCs provide the available response via the second communication channel.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the at least one of the candidate BMCs provide the available response with timestamps, so that the controlling BMC selects one of the candidate BMCs as the assigned BMC to perform the VM creating operation according to the available response and the timestamps.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the controlling BMC selects one of the candidate BMCs with a shortest response time relative to the notification as the assigned BMC according to the timestamps.

6. A device comprising:

a controlling BMC comprising a memory; and

one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the controlling BMC, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

receiving a request for a VM;

providing a notification for requesting to create the VM to one or more candidate BMCs, to make at least one of the candidate BMCs provide an available response in response to resources monitored by the at least one of the candidate BMCs are sufficient for the VM, wherein the resources include CPU loading, memory usage, or storage usage, wherein the notification for requesting is terminated when the available response is received or a timeout occurs; and

assigning an assigned BMC to perform a VM creating operation according to the available response, such that the assigned BMC requests one or more processors corresponding thereto to create the VM;

wherein the controlling BMC and the one or more candidate BMC subscribe a first communication channel, and the controlling BMC provide the notification for requesting the VM to the one or more candidate BMCs via the first communication channel;

wherein the controlling BMC provides the notification for requesting the VM with a resource requirement via the first communication channel, so as to make the one or more candidate BMCs determine whether resources monitored thereby satisfy the resource requirement, and make the one or more candidate BMCs accordingly determine whether to provide the available response, wherein several candidate BMCs in the candidate BMCs are available to create the request VM, the controlling BMC assign one of the several candidate BMCs to create the VM according to a priority, wherein the priority is present, determined according to the response times relative to the notification for requesting the VM, or determined according to the resources in the several candidate BMCs.

7. The device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the controlling BMC assigns the assigned BMC to perform the VM creating operation via the first communication channel.

8. The device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the controlling BMC and the one or more candidate BMC subscribe a second communication channel, and the at least one of the candidate BMCs provide the available response via the second communication channel.

9. The device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the candidate BMCs provide the available response with timestamps, so that the controlling BMC selects one of the candidate BMCs as the assigned BMC to perform the VM creating operation according to the available response and the timestamps.

10. The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the controlling BMC selects one of the candidate BMCs with a shortest response time relative to the notification as the assigned BMC according to the timestamps.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed, causes a controlling BMC to perform operations comprising:

receiving, via a controlling BMC, a request for a VM;

providing, via the controlling BMC, a notification for requesting to create the VM to one or more candidate BMCs, to make at least one of the candidate BMCs provide an available response in response to resources monitored by the at least one of the candidate BMCs are sufficient for the VM, wherein the resources include CPU loading, memory usage, or storage usage, wherein the notification for requesting is terminated when the available response is received or a timeout occurs; and

assigning, via the controlling BMC, an assigned BMC to perform a VM creating operation according to the available response, such that the assigned BMC requests one or more processors corresponding thereto to create the VM;

wherein the controlling BMC and the one or more candidate BMC subscribe a first communication channel, and the controlling BMC provide the notification for requesting the VM to the one or more candidate BMCs via the first communication channel;

wherein the controlling BMC provides the notification for requesting the VM with a resource requirement via the first communication channel, so as to make the one or more candidate BMCs determine whether resources monitored thereby satisfy the resource requirement, and make the one or more candidate BMCs accordingly determine whether to provide the available response, wherein several candidate BMCs in the candidate BMCs are available to create the request VM, the controlling BMC assign one of the several candidate BMCs to create the VM according to a priority, wherein the priority is present, determined according to the response times relative to the notification for requesting the VM, or determined according to the resources in the several candidate BMCs.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the controlling BMC assigns the assigned BMC to perform the VM creating operation via the first communication channel.

13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the controlling BMC and the one or more candidate BMC subscribe a second communication channel, and the at least one of the candidate BMCs provide the available response via the second communication channel.

14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the at least one of the candidate BMCs provide the available response with timestamps, so that the controlling BMC selects one of the candidate BMCs with a shortest response time relative to the notification as the assigned BMC to perform the VM creating operation according to the available response and the timestamps.
