Live Partition Mobility on HMC-managed systems
You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to migrate an active or inactive logical partition from one server to another.
The PowerVM® NovaLink architecture enables management of highly scalable cloud deployment by using the PowerVM technology and OpenStack solutions. The architecture provides a direct OpenStack connection to a PowerVM server. The NovaLink partition runs the Linux operating system and the partition runs on a server that is virtualized by PowerVM. The server is managed by PowerVC or other OpenStack solutions.
When
a server is co-managed by the HMC and PowerVM
NovaLink,
and PowerVM
NovaLink is
in the master mode, you can run
partition mobility operations
only by using PowerVM
NovaLink.
If you want to run partition mobility operations
by using the HMC,
you must set the HMC to
the master mode. Run the following command from the command line to
set the HMC to
the master mode:
chcomgmt -m <managed system> -o setmaster -t norm
