Live Partition Mobility on IVM-managed systems

You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) to move an active or inactive logical partition from one server to another.

Partition mobility overview for IVM
You can learn about the benefits of partition mobility, how the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) performs active and inactive partition mobility, and about the configuration that is required to successfully move a logical partition from one system to another.
Preparing for partition mobility
You need to verify that the source and destination systems are configured correctly so that you can successfully move the mobile partition from the source system to the destination system. This includes verifying the configuration of the source and destination servers, the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) management partitions, the mobile partition, the virtual storage configuration, and the virtual network configuration.
Validating the configuration for partition mobility
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) to validate the configuation of the source and destination systems for partition mobility. If the IVM detects a configuration or connection problem, it displays an error message with information to help you resolve the problem.
Moving the mobile partition
You can move an active or inactive logical partition from one server to another server by using the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM).
