ABSTRACT:
A logical partition (LPAR) computer system for managing partition configuration data is disclosed, which includes a nonvolatile memory, and a plurality of logical partitions, each running independently from the other logical partitions. The system also includes a console coupled to the computer system for accepting logical partition configuration data input by an operator. The configuration data entered by the operator specifies the processors, I/O, and memory allocated to each logical partition defined for the system. The system further includes a set of tables maintained in the nonvolatile memory for storing the logical partition configuration data, such that the logical partition configuration data is persistent across system power cycles.
