Abstract
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an application and method of preserving persistent logical partitions, is suggested for use in a partitioned massively parallel processing system environment. All system data, including configuration data is stored in a central control element in a special configuration object class file. The configuration object class file maps the resources to different sub-environments. Upon a system shut-down or re-booting of any resource, the configuration information stored in the central control element is recovered to re-establish the sub-environments integrity.
