Method and apparatus for allocating resources in a computer system

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer system, comprising at least two logical partitions, each partition having allocated computing resources, wherein the computing resources allocated to a first partition include memory storing a file system accessible by processes executing in the first partition; and a partition resource allocator, wherein the partition resource allocator is arranged to migrate the memory storing the file system from the first partition to a second partition, such that the file system is accessible by processes executing in the second partition.

1. A computer system, comprising:
a first and second logical partition, each partition having allocated computing resources, wherein the computing resources allocated to the first logical partition include memory storing a file system accessible by processes executing in the first logical partition; and a partition resource allocator to migrate the memory storing the file system from the first logical partition to the second logical partition in response to a process executing in the first logical partition being migrated to the second logical partition, wherein the file system is accessible by processes executing in the second logical partition; the partition resource allocator further to determine a number of reallocatable units of memory necessary to hold the file system in the memory and move the file system within the memory to reside in a reduced number of units of memory sufficient to hold the file system.
