Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, from an instance of a local operating system, a fault message including a local identifier of a faulting device of a partition of a server; determining, based on the fault message, a global identifier of the faulting device, the global identifier different from the local identifier; searching, based on the global identifier, an information table for information associated with the faulting device; searching, based on the information associated with the faulting device, the information table for one or more available devices of the server; selecting, from the one or more available devices of the server, a replacement device for the faulting device of the partition of the server; and mapping the selected replacement device to the faulting device by updating a routing table effective to allow services of the instance of the local operating system to operate on the replacement device.
