Claim Text:
1. A computer program product for establishing at least one paging partition in a data processing system, the computer program product comprising: a computer readable storage device having computer usable program code stored thereon, the computer program product comprising: computer usable program code configured to reserve up to the subset of physical memory for use in the shared memory pool; computer usable program code configured to configure at least one logical partition as a shared memory partition; computer usable program code configured to assign a paging partition to the shared memory pool; computer usable program code configured to determine that a user requests a redundant assignment of the paging partition to the shared memory pool, wherein the paging partition is a partition trusted by a hypervisor, and the paging partition responds to paging requests without involvement of the hypervisor; computer usable program code configured to assign a redundant paging partition to the shared memory pool, responsive to a determination that the user requests a redundant assignment; computer usable program code configured to assign a paging device to the shared memory pool, wherein computer usable program code configured to assign the paging device to the shared memory pool comprises computer usable program code configured to assign at least one stream identifier to the paging device, wherein the paging device is assigned to the shared memory partition; and computer usable program code configured to transmit at least one paging request to a virtual asynchronous services interface configured to support a paging device stream.
