ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for executing an initial program load (IPL) control in a multiprocessor system. The multiprocessor system including a global storage unit and a plurality of clusters, each of the clusters having at least one or more processors and a local storage unit, and one of the clusters having a direct access storage device. The method comprising the steps of executing the IPL from the processor belonging to the cluster having the direct access storage device to the local storage unit belonging to that cluster; transferring the IPL information from the local storage unit executing the IPL to the global storage unit; and transferring the IPL information from the global storage unit to the local storage unit in another cluster not having the direct access storage device.
