Methods, systems, and media for timed power-on in a logically partitioned
environment are disclosed. Embodiments may disclose determining a time
period based upon a time to launch a partition and a time of day
associated with the next partition to launch. After determining the time
period, a timer is set to boot the system based upon the time period.
More specifically, embodiments allow the timed power-on (TPO) and time of
day (TOD) of logical partitions to be modified by clients independently
of other partitions by determining the system TPO based upon TPOs and
TODs of logical partitions as well as the TOD of the system. Some
embodiments include initiating a transaction like an interrupt in
response to a change in a TPO or TOD of logical partition or the system.
Several of such embodiments incorporate adjusting or re-calculating the
system TPO in response to the transaction.
