Abstract
A domain management apparatus instructs physical nodes about the configuration of virtual nodes and virtual links of virtual networks. The physical nodes assign a virtual machine to a virtual node based on the definition of the virtual node contained in an instruction from the domain management apparatus. The physical nodes write a configuration associating virtual interfaces in the virtual node definition with virtual NICs on the virtual machine into a configuration file of the operating system to be started up on the virtual machine before the start-up of the virtual machine and, then, start up the virtual machine. Therefore, it is possible to recognize the correspondence relation between the virtual interface in the virtual node definition and the virtual NIC in the virtual machine without referring to the virtual network assignment result and without waiting for the start-up of the virtual machine.
