Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an improved method which manages the simultaneous use license and specially manages the number of simultaneous uses over multiple logical sections by tracking the simultaneous use of a computer over multiple logical sections. SOLUTION: License management is carried out by using >=1 license manager 90 arranged in respective logical sections 40, 42, and 44. Each license manager 90 has access to common service represented by a use tracker 92 and holds the counts of activity uses of all license computer programs to be tracked. A license manager 90 in each logical section processes a function of accepting or rejecting a request to execute the license application 94 in the section. For the purpose, each license manager 90 retrieves the instruction of the large-area counts of uses over all the logical sections on the computer 10.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, system and product for replacing a fault processor in a multiprocessor system wherein at least one operating system (OS) is performed.
SOLUTION: The replacement can be implemented by system firmware without intervention of the OS (namely, to be transparent for the OS) in contrast with conventional technology. In one embodiment, the multiprocessor system can also be logically divided and the method is utilized to replace one or more shared or dedicated processors assigned to a logical partition transparently for the OS that is performed on said partition.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a device and a program for tracking a state of migrating a logical partition.
SOLUTION: This embodiment may use the state of migrating the logical partition to determine easiness or appropriateness for transferring a page of the logical partition, or both thereof. The state may include relative easiness and/or appropriateness of migrating the page or the both thereof, or a value used to track a change affecting the page, or other data. A page control table provided with an entry corresponding to the state of each page of the logical partition may be used to track the state, and meanwhile the logical partition may be operated continuously during the migration.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device, a program product, and a method which make effective the resetting of a processor in multiprocessor environment by using a memory access interruption. SOLUTION: A source processor is allowed to start resetting a target processor by generating a reset request and a memory access interruption to the target processor. The target processor is constituted so as to detect the presence of a held reset request, specially, in the processing of a memory access interruption, and consequently the target process performs resetting operation in response to the detection of a request thereby.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the generation time of a partition manager by managing the use of computer system resources by multiple logical sections and including the partition manager including one call of an operating system present in a previously selected logical section. SOLUTION: A main memory 120 includes the partition manager 122 and manages a primary section 124 and one or more secondary sections 126, which are all logical sections. The primary section 124 includes an operating system 125 and the secondary sections 126 include an operating system 127. The partition manager 122 includes an interface 123 for the operating system 125 in the primary section 124. Thus, the partition manager 122 implements its section managing function by using a code which is already present in the operating system 125 instead of copying the code.
