Live Partition Mobility with Host Ethernet Adapters

Using the Live Partition Mobility (LPM) with Host Ethernet Adapters (HEA) feature of IBM® PowerVM® software, you can migrate an AIX® LPAR and hosted applications from one physical partition to another physical partition while HEA is assigned to the migration partition.

During the migration, HEA will be removed from the migrating partition, and HEA will not be restored on the partitions when migration is complete. However, your network connectivity will remain unaffected.
