Abstract
A hypervisor-based facility is provided for communicating between a hardware management console (HMC) and a logical partition of a data processing system. The facility includes: packaging a request or response of a source endpoint as cargo in a generic transport primitive, the source endpoint being either an HMC or a logical partition of the data processing system; and forwarding the generic transport primitive from the source endpoint to a target endpoint via the hypervisor. The forwarding includes receiving the transport primitive at the hypervisor and forwarding the cargo of the transport primitive to the target endpoint. The cargo includes the request or response from the source endpoint, and the hypervisor forwards the cargo absent inspection or parsing of that cargo. The target endpoint is the other one of the logical partition or the hardware management console of the data processing system.
