A partition reconfiguration system includes a management node that issues a partition
reconfiguration instruction based on pre-defined schedule information; an operating
system that, in response to the instruction, changes an operation state thereof
to a partition re-configurable state in which a usual operation state is stopped
to make reconfiguration possible and, at the same time, notifies that the operation
state thereof has been changed, the operating system operating on a computer system;
and a service processor that, in response to the notification notifying that the
operation state has been changed, configures a partition according to information
on components constituting the partition included in the instruction and, at the
same time, changes the operation state of the operating system to the usual operation state.
