Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatus for partitioning a computer server system (400). A partition management application (430) residing within firmware on a central service processor (404) is configured to receive partitioning requests, to formulate partitioning instructions based on the partitioning requests, and to transmit the partitioning instructions to partition instantiation firmware (432) also residing on the central service processor (404). The partition instantiation firmware (432) is configured to direct server cell firmware (410) to create one or more partitions based on the partitioning instructions.
