Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes obtaining, by a first LPAR, first device information about devices that a first LPAR is physically connected to. The first device information is sent by the first LPAR to a storage device for storage therein. Second device information stored on the storage device by a second LPAR is accessed by the first LPAR. The second device information includes information about devices that the second LPAR is physically connected to. The method further includes performing, by the first LPAR, a function using the second device information. A computer program product for device information sharing between a plurality of LPARs according to another embodiment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program are instructions readable and/or executable by a first LPAR to cause the first LPAR to perform the foregoing method.
