Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product manage a plurality of resources of at least one logically partitioned computing system of the type that includes a plurality of logical partitions managed by a partition manager with an application level administrative console resident in a logical partition of the computing system. Each logical partition is allocated at least a portion of the plurality of resources. A user request to adjust the allocation of at least a portion of the resources using the administrative console is received. The resources of the logically partitioned computing system to adjust in order to satisfy the user request are determined using the application level administrative console. The application level administrative console accesses the partition manager through a resource allocation interface to adjust the determined resources of the logically partitioned computing system in order to satisfy the user request.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for enabling efficient start up of an application server with the components required for complete operation of the supported application. A pre-processor autonomically determines the specific services that are required by the application to be initiated within the application server during start up of the application. The specific services are selected from a comprehensive list of available services for start up of the application server. The application server is then started up with only the specific services required by the application, rather than the full list of services.
