VERIFICATION OF DYNAMIC LOGICAL PARTITIONING

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for verifying transitions between logical partition configurations. A computer system divides the physical resources of a processing core into logical partitions, each of which has at least one processing subcore. The computer system loads the contexts of the logical partitions and assigns test cases to each processing subcore. The processing subcore executes the test case, verifying the context of the logical partition. The computer system reassigns the test cases to different processing cores in anticipation of reconfiguring the number of logical partitions on the processing core. The computing system reconfigures the number of logical partitions on the processing core and executes the test cases as assigned on the reconfigured logical partitions.

1. A method for verifying transitions between logical partition configurations, the method comprising:
dividing physical resources of a processing core into a number of logical partitions, wherein each logical partition has an associated context and comprises at least one processing subcore; assigning a test case to each processing subcore, wherein the assigned test case contains instructions for verifying the associated context of the respective logical partition to which the processing subcore belongs, and executing the assigned test cases; reassigning at least some of the test cases to different processing subcores in anticipation of reconfiguring the physical resources of the processing core into a different number of logical partitions; reconfiguring the physical resources into the different number of logical partitions; and executing the test cases as assigned within the different number of logical partitions.
