System and method for expediting virtual I/O server (VIOS) boot time in a virtual computing environment
First Claim
1. A method for management of boot time of a virtual machine, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying assigned resources of a virtual I/O server (VIOS) of a machine;
allocating additional resources from local partition (LPAR) of the machine to the assigned resources of VIOS during boot time of VIOS; and
reallocating the allocated additional resources from VIOS to the local partition (LPAR) once boot time of VIOS is completed.

Abstract
An approach for management of boot time of a virtual machine is provided. In one aspect, a system boot time application identifies assigned resources of a virtual I/O server (VIOS) of a computing system. In addition, the system boot time application allocates additional resources from client logical partitions (LPARs) of the computing system to the assigned resources of VIOS during boot time of VIOS. The system boot time application further identifies cores of the computing system during the boot time of VIOS. The system boot time application also sets the cores in turbo core mode until boot time of VIOS is completed. In one aspect, the system boot time application reallocates the allocated additional resources from VIOS to the client LPARs once boot time of VIOS is completed.
