The Live Partition Mobility enables you to migrate an entire logical partition from one physical system to another. Live Partition Mobility transfers the configuration from source to destination without disrupting the hosted applications or the setup of the operating system and applications. Live Partition Mobility gives you a greater control over the usage of resources in the data center.
Live Partition Mobility allows a level of reconfiguration that in the past was not possible due to complexity or because of service level agreements that do not allow an application to be stopped for an architectural change. The migration process can be performed in the following ways:
The logical partition is powered off and moved to the destination system.
The migration of the partition is performed while service is provided, without disrupting user activities. During an active migration, the applications continue to handle their normal workload. Disk data transactions, running network connections, user contexts, and the complete environment are migrated without any loss and migration can be activated any time on any production partition.
