Abstract
An embodiment allows an application to use a unique feature of an operating system residing on a LPAR different than its own. If the application makes a request for a feature not available in the operating system that it runs on, a transporter module can check its records to verify if such a feature exists on another operating system in a different LPAR. If it does exist, the transporter communicates to a facilitator of the operating system on the different LPAR though a hypervisor. The facilitator provides the unique feature to the transporter, who then forwards it to the application in need.
