Abstract
A system and method of communicating between a hypervisor and virtual machines using object agents within the hypervisor and the virtual machines. Further, the hypervisor and virtual machines include similar datastore mappings that allow the hypervisor and virtual machines to communicate with each other. The object agent of a virtual machine communicates information corresponding to a first object to the object agent of the hypervisor, and the object agent of the hypervisor updates a datastore mapping of the hypervisor. The hypervisor then communicates the information corresponding to the first object to an object agent of another virtual machine.
