Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing a software partition in logical partitioned data processing system. A virtual root process is created for the software partition, wherein the virtual root process functions as a root process for the software partition. The set of child processes is re-parented to the virtual root process in response to termination of a process having a set of child processes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer implemented method for managing a software partition in logical partitioned data processing system, the computer implemented method comprising: creating a virtual root process for the software partition, wherein the virtual root process functions as a root process for the software partition; responsive to termination of a process having a set of child processes, re-parenting the set of child processes to the virtual root process, wherein the vir…
