Live Partition Mobility, a component of the PowerVM™ Enterprise Edition hardware feature, provides the ability to move AIX® and Linux® logical partitions from one system to another. The mobility process transfers the system environment including the processor state, memory, attached virtual devices, and connected users.
Active Partition Mobility allows you to move AIX and Linux logical partitions that are running, including the operating system and applications, from one system to another. The logical partition and the applications running on that migrated logical partition do not need to be shut down.
Inactive Partition Mobility allows you to move a powered off AIX and Linux logical partition from one system to another.
Because the Hardware Management Console (HMC) always migrates the latest activated profile, an inactive logical partition that has never been activated cannot be migrated. The Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) allows you to migrate a logical partition that has never been activated.
