PHYSICAL PARTITIONING OF COMPUTING RESOURCES FOR SERVER VIRTUALIZATION

A baseboard management controller (BMC) can physically partition the computing resources of a physical host into different resource groups for concurrently running a different operating system per resource group. The BMC can allocate a first processor of the host to a first resource group and a seco...

More Information
Summary:A baseboard management controller (BMC) can physically partition the computing resources of a physical host into different resource groups for concurrently running a different operating system per resource group. The BMC can allocate a first processor of the host to a first resource group and a second processor of the host to a second resource group. The BMC can separate the memory of the host into a first memory range for the first processor and a second memory range for the second processor, and the BMC can limit access to the first memory range to the first processor and limit access to the second memory range to the second processor. The BMC can also distribute physical or virtual peripheral devices of the host between the first processor and the second processor.
