Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, system, and device for recovering a system resource so that the minimum system constitution can be provided by a data processing system. SOLUTION: In an embodiment, at the time of initially loading a program, it is confirmed that failure is generated in a first resource by a firmware component in a data processing system. The assignment of the first resource is released at that time. Responding to the confirmation of a fact that the minimum system constitution in which the data processing system is operating is made short due to the release of the assignment of the resource, one of a plurality of resource whose assignment is released in which any failure whose significance is the lowest is generated is confirmed by a firmware component. Then, one of a plurality of the resources whose assignment is released in which any failure whose significance is the lowest is generated is reassigned so as to be used for the data processing system.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for providing a timed power- on(TPO) of a logical partition in a logical partition computer system. SOLUTION: An operator is allowed to enter a TPO values representing a time to boot one or more of the logical partitions. The TPO value for each of the logical partitions is then stored in a nonvolatile memory. The system time is then periodically compared with each of the TPO values, and when the system time is greater than or equal to or the TPO values, a corresponding partition is booted.
