Abstract
A partition manager includes a resource detection mechanism that uses a persistent resource database to determine which resources were seen previously, and to determine which resources are required for a logical partition to start. Once all required resources for a logical partition are detected, the logical partition is started. In this manner, a logical partition may be started as soon as all of its resources are available, without waiting on the resources of other logical partitions. In addition, a missing required resource will prevent a logical partition from starting, thus avoiding the crash of a logical partition due to missing resources.
