  • Method, System, and Apparatus for Emulating Functionality of a Network Appliance in a Logically Partitioned Environment
    Publication number: 20090043557
    Abstract: A network appliance is emulated in a logically partitioned environment. Activity of a logical partition (LPAR) acting as a network appliance is monitored. When a change in activity occurs in the LPAR acting as the network appliance, a set of business logic partitions served by the LPAR acting as the network appliance is determined, and resource utilization of each business logic partition served by the LPAR acting as the network appliance is determined. A determination is also made whether each business logic partition served by the LPAR acting as the network appliance needs more or less resources. Availability of resources is determined, and resources are allocated or deallocated to or from the business logic partitions served by the LPAR acting as the network appliance based on the need for resources and the availability of resources for each business logic partition.
