    摘要: A technique for performing a system dump in a data processing system that implements active memory sharing includes assigning, via a hypervisor, a logical partition to a portion of a shared memory. One or more virtual block storage devices are also assigned by the hypervisor to the logical partition to facilitate active memory sharing of the shared memory. When a hypervisor-aided firmware-assisted system dump is indicated and a failure of the logical partition is detected, firmware initiates a system dump of information from the assigned portion of the shared memory to the one or more virtual block storage devices. An operating system of the logical partition is rebooted when enough of the assigned portion of the shared memory is freed to facilitate a reboot of the operating system and the hypervisor-aided firmware-assisted system dump is indicated.

    摘要: Systems, methods and media for sharing an application among multiple server systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, the application is stored on a fast disk paging device. The paging device is in communication with each of a plurality of servers so that each server may be given access to the application. Virtual real memory (VRM) is allocated to a first virtual client of the first server. A portion of this VRM is allocated to the application. The application is executed by a virtual client of a first server. During execution a condition may occur that requires taking the first server off line. In that event, VRM is allocated to a second virtual client of a second server. A portion of this VRM is allocated to the application. The application is then executed by the second virtual client of the second server.

    摘要: A method for storing and retrieving blocks of data having different dimensions is disclosed. The method can include receiving a first data segment to be stored in a block storage device where the first data segment has an address. The method can also include determining if the first data segment conforms to a standard dimension and sorting the first data segment according to the destination address if it does not have a standard dimension. The method can further include placing a non-standard data segment into a unfilled block allocation and placing a second non-standard data segment into the unfilled block allocation when the second data segment has the destination identifier. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
