Abstract

A method and system are disclosed for managing saved process states in a memory of a data processing system that has multiple partitions executing independent operating systems. A hypervisor manager affords access to any processor in the data processing system for the purpose of storing process states for that processor to the memory, independent of the operating system running on the processor.
