    摘要: Mechanisms for providing to a plurality of WPARs private access to physical storage connected to a server through a VIOS are disclosed. In one embodiment, a server is logically partitioned to form a working partition comprising a WPAR manager and individual WPARs. Each WPAR is assigned to a different virtual port. The virtual ports are created by using NPIV protocol between the WPAR and VIOS. Thereby, each WPAR has private access to the physical storage connected to the VIOS.

    摘要: A method for storing and retrieving blocks of data having different dimensions is disclosed. The method can include receiving a first data segment to be stored in a block storage device where the first data segment has an address. The method can also include determining if the first data segment conforms to a standard dimension and sorting the first data segment according to the destination address if it does not have a standard dimension. The method can further include placing a non-standard data segment into a unfilled block allocation and placing a second non-standard data segment into the unfilled block allocation when the second data segment has the destination identifier. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

    摘要: A technique for performing a system dump in a data processing system that implements active memory sharing includes assigning, via a hypervisor, a logical partition to a portion of a shared memory. One or more virtual block storage devices are also assigned by the hypervisor to the logical partition to facilitate active memory sharing of the shared memory. When a hypervisor-aided firmware-assisted system dump is indicated and a failure of the logical partition is detected, firmware initiates a system dump of information from the assigned portion of the shared memory to the one or more virtual block storage devices. An operating system of the logical partition is rebooted when enough of the assigned portion of the shared memory is freed to facilitate a reboot of the operating system and the hypervisor-aided firmware-assisted system dump is indicated.

    摘要: A method for intelligent patch scheduling for a virtual (I/O) server is provided. Virtual I/O performance indicators of a virtual I/O server are monitored. The performance indicators are stored in a database. Historic averages of the performance indicators are maintained in the database. Patches to be applied to a client partition of the virtual I/O server are received. A reboot window is received for the client partition and is an allowed time frame for rebooting to apply the patches. Future virtual I/O utilization is predicted by running predictive modeling utilizing the historic averages of the performance indicators, and based on the predictive modeling, a specific time within the allowed time frame is determined for rebooting the client partition of the virtual I/O server to apply the patches. The virtual I/O server is rebooted to apply the patches to the client partition at the specific time within the reboot window.
