Abstract:
A computer-implemented method, apparatus, and computer-usable program code to generate unique identifiers for a logically partitioned and/or virtualized data processing system. A number of computing entities supported by the data processing system are identified to form a number of identified entities. A set of unique identifiers is generated based upon the number of identified entities. A unique identifier from the set of unique identifiers is assigned to a logical computing entity during operation of the data processing system.
