Abstract
A computing device is provided and includes a first physical memory device, a second physical memory device and a hypervisor configured to assign resources of the first and second physical memory devices to a logical partition. The hypervisor configures a dynamic memory relocation (DMR) mechanism to move entire storage increments currently processed by the logical partition between the first and second physical memory devices in a manner that is substantially transparent to the logical partition.
