ABSTRACT:
A data processing system, method, and product are disclosed for debugging partition management firmware from an existing operating system debugger. The partition management firmware is also called a hypervisor. The data processing system is logically partitioned and includes an operating system debugger and hypervisor software. An operating system and the operating system debugger are stored in one of the logical partitions. Extensions are included within the operating system debugger. The extensions are then utilized by the existing operating system debugger to debug the hypervisor.
