Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing a multi-source reset for independent partitions within a multiprocessor computer system. In a system having at least two partitions wherein the at least two partitions share interconnect hardware, a reset may be provided to a first one of the at least two partitions while allowing the remaining of the at least two partitions to continue to operate. The interconnect hardware may provide means for reseting a first portion of the interconnect hardware associated with the first partition while allowing the remaining portions of the interconnect hardware to continue to operate undisturbed. The reset function may be triggered by hardware or software in either partition or by a system control facility.
