Logical partition attributes that change after the logical partition moves to the destination system

When you move a logical partition from one server to another, some of its attributes might change (such as the logical partition ID number) and some of its attributes remain the same (such as the logical partition configuration).

The following table describes the logical partition attributes that remain the same and the logical partition attributes that might change after you move a logical partition to the destination server.
Table 1. Logical partition attributes that might change or remain the same after a logical partition moves to the destination server
Attributes that remain the same Attributes that might change
  • The logical partition name
  • The logical partition type (dedicated processor or shared processor)
  • The logical partition configuration
  • The processor architecture
  • The Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) state of each processor
  • The virtual MAC addresses, IP addresses, and LUN mapping to the target devices
  • The logical partition ID number
  • The machine type, model, and serial number
  • The model class of the underlying server
  • The processor version and type
  • The processor frequency
  • The affinity characteristics of the logical memory blocks (LMB)
  • The maximum number of hot pluggable and installed physical processors
  • The L1 and L2 cache size
