Distributed virtual machines can help to build scalable, manageable and efficient Grid infrastructures. The work proposed in this paper focuses on employing virtual machines for Grid computing. In order to efficiently run Grid applications, resource information of virtual machines should be provided. The paper firstly discusses the system architecture of virtual machine pools and the process of information retrieval from virtual machines. Based on the characterization of the system model, the paper presents the work how to retrieve resource information from Xen/VMware virtual machines via VMware CIM SDK and light weight Java agents. The resource information is integrated into Grid information service. The work is implemented in a test bed with Xen/VMware virtual machines and Globus Toolkit.
