ABSTRACT:
Within both a method for upgrading a computer system and a system for upgrading the computer system there is provided a computer system having associated therewith an upgrade management utility. The upgrade management utility provides for a buffering of a series of incoming requests to the computer system when upgrading the computer system while operating the computer system, to thus provide an uninterrupted idle state when upgrading the computer system when operating the computer system. Thus, the computer system may be upgraded with minimal disruption of functions which it supports.
