Abstract
A partition manager for managing logical partitions in a computer system includes hooks to low-level operating system code in one of the logical partitions. By using the operating system code to manage the resources of a computer system, any changes that are made to the operating system are automatically reflected in the function of the partition manager. In addition, low-level functions of operating systems, which are often well-debugged and tested, can be used when generating a new partition manager, greatly simplifying the time and reducing the cost of producing a partition manager.
