Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by one or more computer processors, an active system configuration and a target system configuration from a system administrator, wherein the target system configuration includes two or more logical partitions of a virtualized computing system environment, and wherein each of the two or more logical partitions is a subset of hardware resources of a server computer;
determining, by one or more computer processors, one or more reconfiguration actions required to transform the active system configuration to the target system configuration;
generating, by one or more computer processors, a dependency graph based on the determined one or more reconfiguration actions;
dividing, by one or more computer processors, the dependency graph along the two or more logical partitions;
sorting, by one or more computer processors, the determined one or more reconfiguration actions by associated dependencies;
ordering, by one or more computer processors, the determined one or more reconfiguration actions based on a priority of each of the two or more logical partitions;
running, by one or more computer processors, in a simulation environment firmware, a first live simulation of the determined one or more reconfiguration actions for each of the two or more logical partitions; and
based on the simulation, performing, by one or more computer processors, the determined one or more reconfiguration actions for each of the two or more logical partitions.
