Workaround

- Perform the inactive migration.
- At the destination, attempt to activate the logical partition. If the boot process is unsuccessful, proceed to the next step.
- Shut down the logical partition.
- Change the configuration from shared processor mode to dedicated processor mode and save the profile.
- Activate the logical partition with dedicated processors and the local partition starts up normally.
After successful activation, the processor mode can be changed back from dedicated processor mode to shared processor mode (if required) and the logical partition continues to start.
