vMIB: Uma MIB Genérica para Gerenciamento de Recursos Virtuais

Virtualization technology allows several virtual machines to be created from a single hardware structure. With virtualized computational systems increasing utilization, demand for efficient management of this sort of resource also grows. Network management tools currently available do not manage virtual systems efficiently, because specific issues related to virtual resources, such as processor, memory, disk and network, are not considered. Development of a generic MIB not only provides an efficient tool for virtual machines management but also adds other advantages, such as more management flexibility as well as interoperability among different virtual systems. This work proposes a independent MIB to be used for management of both virtual machines and virtual machine monitors. This virtual MIB (vMIB) was created based on the structures of MIB-II and SMI (Structure Management Information) specification and was validated using the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) protocol.
