Abstract:
1. A database partition monitoring and reconfiguration system comprising: one or more central processing units; a memory operatively coupled to said one or more central processing units; said memory storing program logic that runs in an execution context of said one or more central processing units to implement an automated monitor adapted to monitor one or more database application-level resource parameters in a logical partition running a database application in a logically partitioned data processing host, said resource parameters being defined by said database application and including tunable database parameters that are associated with database management operations or database storage and integrity, to determine partition resources to be reallocated based on said resource parameters, said partition resources being different from said resource parameters but utilized by said database application to operate according to said resource parameters, and to initiate dynamic logical partition reconfiguration to reallocate said resources in the event that said resource parameters vary from predetermined parameter values.
