THERMAL LOAD MANAGEMENT IN A PARTITIONED VIRTUAL COMPUTER SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT THROUGH MONITORING OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURES OF ENVIRNOMENT SURROUNDING THE SYSTEMS

摘要

Thermal load, management in a virtualized environment wherein server controlled physical processor systems are partitioned into a plurality of logical partitions LPARs that comprise first predetermining a set of ambient temperature levels for the surrounding outside environment for a first server controlled system having a plurality of LPARs. Then the ambient set of temperature levels are sensed and, if the set or predetermined pattern of temperature levels are exceeded, one or more of the plurality of LPARs are transferred from said first server controlled system to a second server controlled LPAR system over a connecting network.
