Research and Realization of I/O Monitoring Based on Xen Cloud Platform

With the wide application of cloud platform, how to better utilize virtualization technology has become a great challenge for many IT enterprises. This paper proposed an I/O monitoring framework for XCP-based platform. Combining mobile technology, monitoring tools on both server and client side are developed respectively. Functional testing is carried out on the I/O monitoring tools, whose effectiveness and reliability are verified. The XCP-based I/O monitor platform is able to supervise the I/O of virtual machines, which provides a great way for cloud platform operation management.
