Integration components are software components that run on top of the guest operating system inside of a child partition and as part of the virtualization stack in the parent partition to provide some level of integration with the parent partition. They are used to address problems that arise from the high level of isolation provided by virtual machines.
The following are virtualization WMI classes related to the integration components.
| Class | Description |
|---|
| Msvm_HeartbeatComponent | Represents the state of the heartbeat component, which is responsible for monitoring the state of a virtual machine by reporting a heartbeat at regular intervals. |
| Msvm_HeartbeatComponentSettingData | Represents the configured state of the heartbeat component. |
| Msvm_KvpExchangeComponent | Represents the state of the key/value pair exchange component, which provides a mechanism to exchange data between the virtual machine and the operating system running on the parent partition. |
| Msvm_KvpExchangeComponentSettingData | Represents the configured state of the key/value pair exchange component. |
| Msvm_KvpExchangeDataItem | Represents a key/value pair. |
| Msvm_ShutdownComponent | Represents the state of the shutdown component, which provides a mechanism to shut down the operating system of the virtual machine from the management interfaces on the host system. |
| Msvm_ShutdownComponentSettingData | Represents the configured state of the shutdown component. |
| Msvm_TimeSyncComponent | Represents the state of the time synchronization component, which is responsible for synchronizing the system time of a virtual machine with the system time of the operating system running in the parent partition. |
| Msvm_TimeSyncComponentSettingData | Represents the configured state of the time synchronization component. |
| Msvm_VssComponent | Represents the state of the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) component, which implements the VSS Requester in the guest operating system. |
| Msvm_VssComponentSettingData | Represents the configured state of the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) component. |
