Abstract

A method and system for providing a guest with virtual media that can be read by the guest. A hypervisor hosted by a computer system presents a guest-to-host channel to a guest in the computer system. The hypervisor receives content from the guest via the guest-to-host channel, the content to be stored and managed by the hypervisor in a memory area associated with the guest in the computer system, the memory area not being directly accessible to the guest. The hypervisor then receives a request from the guest indicating that the guest is to perform at least one operation on the content, and provides the content for the guest to perform the at least one operation.
