CONCURRENT HYPERVISOR REPLACEMENT

摘要

Replacing a source hypervisor by a target hypervisor in a system having a first level hypervisor managing multiple logical partitions to share a set of resources of a server. The source hypervisor enabling at least one source virtual machine to share resources that are assigned to a source logical partition of the multiple logical partitions where the source hypervisor runs, the target hypervisor enabling at least one target virtual machine to share resources that are assigned to a target logical partition of the multiple logical partitions where the target hypervisor runs, wherein memory segments of a physical memory of the server are assigned to the at least one source virtual machine.
