ABSTRACT:
Assigning a processor to a logical partition in a computer supporting multiple logical partitions that include assigning priorities to partitions, detecting a checkstop of a failing processor of a partition, retrieving the failing processor's state, replacing by a hypervisor the failing processor with a replacement processor from a partition having a priority lower than the priority of the partition of the failing processor, and assigning the retrieved state of the failing processor as the state of the replacement processor.
