Claim 16:
17. A method comprising:
establishing a first logical partition in a communication fabric to form a first compute unit comprising one or more communication switches by at least segregating port visibility among a first subset of physical ports of the one or more communication switches associated with a first processing device and a memory device individually coupled to the communication fabric over separate communication interfaces for arbitrary arrangement into the first compute unit using the first logical partition;
transferring configuration data for storage by the memory device over the first logical partition, wherein the configuration data comprises a hibernation state or suspend-to-disk data corresponding to an initial processing device other than the first processing device;
after transfer of the configuration data, removing the memory device from the first compute unit and de-establishing port visibility to the first processing device, wherein the configuration data remains stored by the memory device; and
establishing a second logical partition in the communication fabric to form a second compute unit by at least segregating port visibility among a second subset of physical ports of the one or more communication switches associated with at least a second processing device and the memory device comprising the configuration data, wherein the second processing device is individually coupled to the communication fabric over an associated communication interface for arbitrary arrangement into the second compute unit using the second logical partition and is operated using the configuration data.
