Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a method for assigning resources in a system configurable into logical partition clusters. The method includes defining at least one logical partition cluster. A LPC name index record storing a LPC name index for each of a plurality of resources is provided. The LPC name index record is indexed by a resource identifier. A LPC name record storing at least one LPC name is also provided. At least one LPC name index points to a LPC name in the LPC name record and each LPC name identifies an LPC. A resource is assigned to a group in response to the LPC name index record and the LPC name record.
