1. A method, comprising:
- performing processing operations in a first logical partition in a first processing complex of a server cluster wherein said first logical partition operates using software code at a first level;
updating software code in a second logical partition of said first processing complex from said first level to a second level while continuing to perform processing operations in the first logical partition; and
performing processing operations in the second logical partition subsequent to said software updating in said second logical partition, wherein said second logical partition operates using software code at said second level.

Abstract
A first logical partition in a first processing complex of a server cluster is operated at a first level of a software code. Software code in a second logical partition in the same processing complex is updated to a second level. Processing operations are assumed by the second logical partition operating at the second level of software code. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

10. A system, comprising:
-
a server cluster having a first processing complex having a first logical partition having memory adapted to store software code at a first level and logic adapted to perform processing operations in said first logical partition using software code at said first level, said first processing complex further having a second logical partition having memory adapted to store software code at said first level and logic adapted to perform processing operations in said second logical partition using software code at said first level;
wherein said first processing complex has logic adapted to update said software code in said second logical partition from said first level to a second level while said first logical partition logic continues to perform processing operations in the first logical partition; and
wherein said second logical partition logic is further adapted to perform processing operations in the second logical partition subsequent to said software updating in said second logical partition, wherein said second logical partition logic operates using software code at said second level. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An article of manufacture, comprising:
code enabled to be executed by a system to perform operations, wherein the system has a server cluster having a first processing complex having a first logical partition having memory adapted to store software code at a first level, said first processing complex further having a second logical partition having memory adapted to store software code at said first level, and wherein the system executed operations comprise;
performing processing operations in the first logical partition in the first processing complex of the server cluster wherein said first logical partition operates using said software code at said first level;
updating software code in the second logical partition from said first level to a second level while continuing to perform processing operations in the first logical partition; and
performing processing operations in the second logical partition subsequent to said software updating in said second logical partition, wherein said second logical partition operates using software code at said second level. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method for deploying computing instructions, comprising:
-
integrating computer-readable code into a system, wherein the system has a server cluster having a first processing complex having a first logical partition having memory adapted to store software code at a first level, said first processing complex further having a second logical partition having memory adapted to store software code at said first level, and wherein the code in combination with the system is enabled to cause the system to perform;
processing operations in the first logical partition in the first processing complex of the server cluster wherein said first logical partition operates using said software code at said first level;
updating software code in the second logical partition from said first level to a second level while continuing to perform processing operations in the first logical partition; and
processing operations in the second logical partition subsequent to said software updating in said second logical partition, wherein said second logical partition operates using software code at said second level. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
