Abstract

In order to meet the requirements of the system running environments simulation for virtual machines´ performance optimization and anomaly detection, an extensible tool named Characteristic Scenarios Simulator for Virtual Machine was developed base on the summarization and analysis of characteristic scenarios of virtual machines´ running. The simulator takes an Analyser-Manager-Worker core architecture and provides an extensible development framework with API. Two typical scenarios of high workload of the CPU and Network device were introduced next. And finally, the tool is verified in Xen, and the experimental results show its practicality, availability and expansibility.
