Abstract

With the development of hardware virtualization technology, more and more embedded hypervisors are being implemented. Traditional embedded hypervisors focus on resource utilization and real-time performance while neglecting the reliability requirements of embedded applications. In this paper, we implement two fault-tolerant mechanisms for an embedded hypervisor, which makes hypervisor more reliable without significant downtime. We apply VM migration to provide a runtime fault-tolerance mechanism to further enhance hypervisor reliability. To guarantee the regular operation of critical tasks during fault recovery, this paper implements a hypervisor live-update mechanism to complete fault recovery while avoiding migration network delays. Test results show that these mechanisms combine reliability and operational efficiency to meet the needs of embedded applications.
