  • Method and apparatus for data recovery optimization in a logically partitioned computer system
    Patent number: 6820217
    Abstract: A protection utility for compiled data in a computer system having dynamically configurable logical partitions determines the time for rebuilding compiled data, and selectively stores data in a form not requiring rebuild to meet a pre-specified recovery time limit. If the configuration changes, the protection strategy is automatically migrated to adapt to the new configuration. Preferably, the compiled data is multiple database indexes, which are selectively logged to reduce recovery time. Logging is selectively discontinued or extended responsive to changes in partition configuration, allowing a gradual migration to the target recovery time using the new set of configured resources.
