    摘要: The inventive multiple partition computer system allows the reconfiguration of the installed hardware, possibly while the various partitions continue normal operations. This aspect includes adding and removing process cell boards and I/O from partitions which may or may not continue to run. The invention also allows changes to the association between cells, I/O and partitions. The partitions may be able to stay running, or may have to be shut down from the resulting changes. In the invention, multiple copies of the OS are running independently of each other, each in a partition that has its own cell boards with processors and memory and connected I/O. This provides isolation between different applications. Consequently, a fatal error in one partition would not affect the other partitions. A network of micro-controllers connected to a service processor, via a communications link, provides the service processor with information on each of the different cells, as well as a pathway to receive requests for configuration changes, and a pathway to command changes in the different cells or I/O. The invention allows system control features such as power on/off, status display, etc. for multiple cabinets under control of the service processor.

    摘要: A method and system for independent console access including tracking in a server system allows a plurality of users simultaneous access to any of a plurality of data sources associated with the server. The data sources can be associated with partitions into which the server is divided or can be independent of the partitions. The method and system of the invention also allow a first user of the server to connect to one of the data sources through a tracking mirror, which enables a second user of the server to monitor the movements of the first user by connecting, via the tracking mirror, to the same data source to which the first user connects.
