Abstract
Errors occurring on a hardware bus of a hypervisor-based system may be handled in software monitors in the hypervisor-based system. When an error occurs, guest partitions on the hypervisor-based system may be notified of the error through a monitor executing in each guest partition. Only guest partitions affected by the error may be shut down or provided other instructions for taking an action in response to the error.
