Live Partition Mobility on HMC-managed systems
You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to move an active or inactive logical partition from one server to another.
- Partition mobility overview for HMC
You can learn about the benefits of partition mobility, how the Hardware Management Console (HMC) 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 Hardware Management Console (HMC), the Virtual I/O Server logical partitions, the mobile partition, the virtual storage configuration, and the virtual network configuration. - Validating the configuration for partition mobility
You can use the Partition Migration wizard on the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to validate the configuration of the source and destination systems for partition mobility. If the HMC 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, inactive, or suspended logical partition from one server to another server by using the Partition Migration wizard on the Hardware Management Console (HMC). You can also move an active AIX logical partition from one server to another server by using the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT). - Troubleshooting partition mobility
Learn how to understand, isolate, and resolve problems related to active and inactive partition mobility by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
