摘要： A computer program product and computer system for error monitoring partitions in a computer system. Provided to each partition is a partition status indicator (PSI) denoting a RUNNING or FAIL status of the partition, and an error log area (ELA) for storing partition error entries. The ELA includes a partition identifier, an entry status indicator (ESI) indicating READ/UNREAD status for the error entry, and an error identifier. An error procedure performed for each first partition whose partition status indicator indicates the FAIL status includes: copying each error entry in the ELA of the first partition whose ESI indicates the UNREAD status into the ELA of a second (running) partition; setting the ESI to the READ status for each copied error entry in the ELA of the first partition; and having the ESI set to the UNREAD status for each copied error entry in the ELA of the second partition.

摘要： A computer program product for error monitoring partitions in a computer system. A global supervisor mapping (GSM) associates each supervised partition with a supervisor partition that monitors the supervised partition. A partition status buffer (PSB) denotes a status (GOOD, BAD, NOCARE) of the partition. The BAD status denotes that the partition has encountered at least one error that is currently unrepaired. The supervisor partition determines its supervised partition from the GSM and ascertains the status of its supervised partition from the PSB. If the status of the supervised partition is BAD then a recovery procedure is performed by the supervisor partition. The recovery procedure: obtains a grant of access to physical and logical resources of the supervised partition which contains error data of the supervised partition; gathers the error data; and sets the status of the supervised partition to the NOCARE status.

摘要： A method and structure for inter partition communication within a logical partitioned data processing system are provided. Each partition is configured for an inter partition communication area (IPCA) allocated from partition's own system memory. Each partition's IPCA combined together forms a non-contiguous block of memory which is treated as a virtual shared resource (VSR). Access to VSR is controlled by hypervisor to maintain data security and coherency of the non-shared resources of a partition. Messages are written to and read from VSR under a specific partition's IPCA for inter partition communication. No physical shared or non-shared resources are involved during inter partition communication, hence no extra overhead on those resources, thus achieving optimized performance during inter partition communication.
