    摘要: A vendor independent interface is provided between a hypervisor and an adjunct partition associated with a self-virtualizing IO resource to effectively abstract away vendor-specific interface details for the self-virtualizing IO resource and its adjunct partition. By doing so, vendor-specific implementation details may be isolated from the configuration and management functionality in a hypervisor, thus minimizing the changes to vendor specific firmware in order to manage new or revised self-virtualizing IO resources.

    摘要: Hypervisor managed memory paging is provided in a data processing system having multiple logical partitions. The data processing system includes a shared memory pool defined within physical memory. The shared memory pool includes a volume of physical memory with dynamically adjustable sub-volumes or sets of physical pages associated with the multiple logical partitions. Each sub-volume or set is associated with a particular logical partition and includes mapped logical memory pages for that logical partition. A hypervisor memory manager interfaces the multiple logical partitions and the shared memory pool, and manages access to logical memory pages within the shared memory pool. The hypervisor memory manager further manages page-out and page-in of logical memory pages from the shared memory pool to one or more external paging devices. This page-out and page-in managing by the hypervisor memory manager is transparent to the multiple logical partitions.

    摘要: A vendor-independent resource configuration interface automatically maps virtual functions to physical functions in a self-virtualizing IO resource using the concept of a logical port that maps to a particular physical port and protocol in the self-virtualizing IO resource. A user wishing to provide a logical partition access to a self-virtualizing IO resource typically creates or configures a logical port for the logical partition by mapping the logical port to a particular physical port and protocol defined for the self-virtualizing IO resource, and an appropriate virtual function mapped to an appropriate physical function on an appropriate self-virtualizing IO resource is automatically selected, typically without requiring the user to have a detailed understanding of the numbers of supported virtual functions, physical functions and protocols supported by specific resources.

    摘要: Migrating a logical partition (LPAR) from a first physical port to a first target physical port, includes determining a configuration of an LPAR having allocated resources residing on a computer and assigned to the first physical port of the computer. The configuration includes a label that specifies a network topology that is provided by the first physical port and the first target physical port has a port label that matches the label included in the configuration of the LPAR. The first target physical port with available capacity to service the LPAR is identified and the LPAR is migrated from the first physical port to the target physical port by reassigning the LPAR to the first target physical port.
