Abstract:
In embodiments of the invention LPARs can be run on any server in a group of servers. Upon detecting a server has failed, each LPAR then running on the failed server is identified, and servers in the group that are available for restarting the identified LPARs are determined. Identified LPARs are assigned to an available server for restarting, wherein each LPAR has a value associated with a specified LPAR priority criterion, and a given LPAR is assigned in accordance with its value. Responsive to assigning the given LPAR to an available server, a specified storage resource is connected for use by the server in association with the given LPAR, wherein the specified storage resource was previously connected for use by the failed server in association with the given LPAR.
