Abstract

A virtualization management method and related apparatuses for managing hardware resources of a communication device are disclosed. The method includes: acquiring a first virtual machine context that is issued by a first service board deployed in a communication device and that corresponds to a first interrupt, and issuing the first virtual machine context, or a second virtual machine context that is obtained based on the first virtual machine context and that corresponds to the first interrupt, so that a second service board deployed in the communication device, after acquiring the issued first virtual machine context or second virtual machine context, transfers the acquired first virtual machine context or second virtual machine context to a first virtual machine running on the intra-board Hypervisor in the second service board for processing, where the first virtual machine is the employer of the first hardware resource.
