ABSTRACT:
An access method and system in a logically partitioned data processing system having a plurality of logical partitions. A requesting logical partition requests information pertaining to a resource of the data processing system as the resource relates to a requested logical partition of the system. The requesting logical partition is given access to the information when the requesting and requested logical partitions are authorized to access the resource. Thus, access to logical partition information is provided on a per resource basis. Additionally, access is limited such that the requesting logical partition can access information relating to less than all of the logical partitions of the logically partitioned data processing system.
