Abstract:
A method for starting a secure guest includes receiving, by a hypervisor that is executing on a host server, a request to dispatch a virtual machine (VM) on the host server. The VM is dispatched on the host server by the hypervisor. The VM includes a reboot instruction. The reboot instruction is triggered by the hypervisor to restart the VM in a secure mode.
