Maintaining Network QoS Across NIC Device Driver Failures Using Virtualization

Abstract: Abstract-Device driverf ailures have been shown to be a major cause of system failures. Network services stress NIC device drivers, increasing the probability of NIC driverb ugs being manifested as serverf ailures. System virtualization is increasingly used for serverconsolidation and management. The isolated driverdomain (IDD) architectureused by several virtual machine monitors, such as Xen, forms a natural foundation for making systems resilient to NIC driverf ailures. In order to realize this potential, re… Show more

“…Figure 2 shows the main components of a virtualized system with the resiliencye nhancements of the Xen VI and a virtual cluster as multiple AppVMs. The VI resiliency enhancements include ReHype [16] for detecting and recovering from VMM failure, twoD VMs to enable uninterrupted access to devices for the AppVMs, a DVM Manager for controlling recovery from DVM failure, and DVMf ailure detectors for detecting and informing AppVMs and the DVM Manager of DVM failure [15,12].…”
