Abstract
Hierarchical virtualization creates a child guest partition that shares a hypervisor with a parent guest partition. A hypervisor receives a request, from a first guest partition that operates at the hypervisor, to create a second guest partition as a child of the first guest partition. The hypervisor identifies a configuration specification for the second guest partition, which includes (1) an identification of a memory portion, which is allocated to the first guest partition, that is to be mapped into the second guest partition; and (2) a configuration of a virtual processor that is to be utilized by the second guest partition. The hypervisor creates the second guest partition based on the configuration specification.
