摘要： A computer-implemented method, an apparatus, and a computer-usable program product for identifying a link status for a virtual adapter in a logical partition framework are provided. A partition management firmware receives a signal identifying a communication disruption in a link associated with the virtual adapter within the logical partition framework. The partition management firmware identifies which links associated with the virtual adapter are affected by the communication disruption. Responsive to identifying that only a physical link associated with the virtual adapter is disrupted, the partition management firmware categorizes the link status for the virtual adapter as partial link-down. Responsive to identifying that both the physical link and a virtual link associated with the virtual adapter are disrupted, the partition management firmware categorizes the link status for the virtual adapter as link-down.
