Abstract

Systems, methods and computing components are provided for dynamically reallocating a plurality of computing components among one or more logical partitions. A first computing component that is allocated to a first partition may have a management processor. A second computing component may be allocated to a second partition. The management processor of the first computing component may be configured to reallocate the first computing component to a third partition without affecting the second computing component.
