    摘要： A method and apparatus for enforcing capacity limitations such as those imposed by software license agreements in an information handling system in which a physical machine is divided into a plurality of logical partitions, each of which is allocated a defined portion of processor resources by a logical partition manager. A software license manager specifies a maximum allowed consumption of processor resources by a program executing in one of the logical partitions. A workload manager also executing in the partition measures the actual consumption of processor resources by the logical partition over a specified averaging interval and compares it with the maximum allowed consumption. If the actual consumption exceeds the maximum allowed consumption, the workload manager calculates a capping pattern and interacts with the logical partition manager to cap the actual consumption of processor resources by the partition in accordance with the calculated capping pattern. To provide additional capping flexibility, partitions are assigned phantom weights that the logical partition manager adds to the total partition weight to determine whether the partition has exceeded its allowed share of processor resources for capping purposes. The logical partition thus becomes a “container” for the licensed program with an enforced processing capacity less than that of the entire machine.

    摘要： Allocation of shareable resources of a computing environment are dynamically adjusted to balance the workload of that environment. Workload is managed across two or more partitions of a plurality of partitions of the computing environment. The managing includes dynamically adjusting allocation of a shareable resource of at least one partition of the two or more partitions in order to balance workload goals of the two or more partitions.

    摘要： An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a method for assigning resources in a system configurable into logical partition clusters. The method includes defining at least one logical partition cluster. A LPC name index record storing a LPC name index for each of a plurality of resources is provided. The LPC name index record is indexed by a resource identifier. A LPC name record storing at least one LPC name is also provided. At least one LPC name index points to a LPC name in the LPC name record and each LPC name identifies an LPC. A resource is assigned to a group in response to the LPC name index record and the LPC name record.

    摘要： A method of replacing a current version of a program module with a replacement version of the module concurrently with the execution of the program on a computer system. While execution of the program is suspended, each address reference in the program to an entry point within the current version of the module is replaced with an address reference to the corresponding entry point within the replacement version of the module. After the address references have been replaced and before execution is resumed, a patch initialization routine is invoked to perform initialization functions such as storage allocation, table initialization and feature detection that are performed before execution of the concurrently applied patch. Execution of the program is resumed when each address reference to the current module has been replaced with one to the replacement module and the patch initialization routine has been performed. A bit vector is used to ensure that each initialization function is performed only once per instantiation of the program being patched. An available storage value indicates the amount of initially allocated storage remaining available after performing an initialization function involving storage allocation.

    摘要： A server function is provided in a hardware machine which is divided into a plurality of logical partitions, each of which functions as a virtual hardware machine. The hardware machine has a non-user-accessible storage device for storing machine control code and other non-user-accessible code and, optionally, a user-accessible storage device for storing applications and other user-accessible code. Defined partition types include server mode partitions that are inaccessible to a user and non-server mode partitions that are accessible to a user. The hardware machine is divided into one or more logical partitions including at least one server mode partitions and, optionally, one or more non-server mode partitions. Server code for providing the server function is stored on the non-user-accessible storage device and is loaded into the server mode partition from the non-user-accessible storage device in response to an activation signal to enable the server mode partition. Each partition has a stored mode indicator identifying it as either a server mode partition or a non-server mode partition. Loading of server code into a target partition is inhibited if the stored mode indicator indicates that the target partition is a non-server mode partition. Conversely, user attempts to access a target partition are inhibited if the stored mode indicator indicates that the target partition is a server partition.

    摘要： A method and apparatus for synchronizing selected logical partitions of a partitioned information handling system to a test datesource. A system operator is presented with a display panel in which the operator may specify a set of test partitions and a test clock value. Each partition designated as a test partition is synchronized to the test clock value upon being newly activated, while production partitions are synchronized to a production clock value. The first test partition to be newly activated is synchronized to the test clock value by calculating the difference between the test clock value and a host clock value and storing the difference as an epoch offset for that partition. Each subsequently activated test partition is synchronized to the test clock value by copying the epoch offset of the previously activated test partition.
