摘要： In a partitioned process environment, storage is reassigned by a shuffle of guest absolute address spaces which may be reassigned among partitions without restriction as to the position of the space to be reassigned relative to the position of the partition to which it is to be assigned. The reassignment is accomplished by adjusting the origin addresses by an adjustment value corresponding to the size of the address space of an additional memory area to be added to a selected partition. Furthermore, the size of the address space of the selected partition is increased by the same adjustment value. The system employs duplicated origin and limit arrays which are used to convert from a partition (guest) absolute address to a system (host) absolute address and uses duplicated configuration arrays by which the system absolute addresses are converted to physical memory addresses. Revised origin and limit information and configuration information is stored in an origin and limit array in the stand by state and in a configuration array in the stand by state. Autonomously operating circuitry is responsive to control signals to temporarily suspend memory commands from the input-output system, to reconfigure the origin and limit arrays and the configuration arrays to enable the system to use the revised information and, thereafter, to resume the processing of memory commands from the input-output system.

摘要： A data processing system has a processing unit and a memory which provides a common pool of physical storage. This storage is initially assigned as either main storage or expanded storage during power on. Subsequent to the initial assignment, storage assigned as main storage or expanded storage may be unassigned and thus returned to the common pool. Once returned to the common pool, the storage may be reassigned as either main storage or expanded storage. The storage reassignment is done dynamically without requiring a reset action and transparent to the operating system and any active application programs.

摘要： A dynamic reconfiguration request for a change in a system's physical configuration is transmitted from a configuration controller to a hypervisor controlling operating systems executing in one or more partitions of the system. The hypervisor translates the physical reconfiguration request into a request for reconfiguration of logical resources known to the operating systems, first verifying it against an installation policy, and passes the requests to the operating systems in the partitions. The operating systems perform logical reconfiguration, then request physical reconfiguration of the hypervisor. The hypervisor initiates the physical reconfiguration through the configuration controller.
