<p>A distributed computer system is composed of a plurality of cells, a service processor, and first and second modules. Each of the cells includes a CPU, a memory, and range registers used for resource routing. At least one cell is used as a spare cell, and the remainder(s) of the cells is activated to provide an online system. The first module is programmed to provide a memory region of the online system with initial values to be set into the range registers of the spare cell in response to booting the online system. The service processor provides a copy of the initial values onto the memory of the spare cell in response to a request for activating the spare cell. The second module is programmed to put the initial values obtained from the copy into the range registers of the chipset on the spare cell.</p> |
