Claim 14:
15. A computer system comprising:
one or more computer processors;
one or more computer readable storage media;
program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, 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.
