Virtual machine control apparatus and virtual machine control method
A virtual machine control apparatus 100 controls execution of a first type virtual machine A210 and a second type virtual machine 220. The first type virtual machine A210 includes a start detection unit 261 which detects an operation in the first type virtual machine A210 to start usage of a device (external storage device 160). The first type virtual machine A210 also includes a start signal output unit 262 which outputs a start signal when the start detection unit 261 detects the operation to start usage of the device. The second type virtual machine 220 includes a control unit (external storage device driver 272) which, when the start signal output unit 262 outputs the start signal while the device is in set in a low power mode (electrical power set to off), sets the device in a normal mode (electrical power set to on).
