ABSTRACT:
Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for containing machine check events in a virtual partition. One embodiment is a method of software execution. The method divides a hard partition into first and second virtual partitions and attempts to correct an error in a firmware layer of the first virtual partition. If the error is not correctable, then the method reboots the first virtual partition without disrupting hardware resources in the second virtual partition.
