Abstract
A method, system and computer-readable medium for resolving conflicting network settings on a software partition server. In one embodiment, the method clones a software partition of a data processing system to obtain a second software partition. The method detects a conflict between a network configuration of the second software partition and an existing network configuration of an existing software partition on the data processing system. The method then dynamically resolves the conflict between the network configuration of the second software partition and the existing network configuration of the existing software partition without additional input from the user.
