Claim 7:
8. A computer program product comprising:
one or more computer readable storage medium and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage medium, the stored program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive 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;
program instructions to determine one or more reconfiguration actions required to transform the active system configuration to the target system configuration;
program instructions to generate a dependency graph based on the determined one or more reconfiguration actions;
program instructions to divide the dependency graph along the two or more logical partitions;
program instructions to sort the determined one or more reconfiguration actions by associated dependencies;
program instructions to order the determined one or more reconfiguration actions based on a priority of each of the two or more logical partitions;
program instructions to run, 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, program instructions to perform the determined one or more reconfiguration actions for each of the two or more logical partitions.
