The partition migration, either inactive or active, is divided into the following stages:
Preparing the infrastructure to support Live Partition Mobility.
Checking the configuration and readiness of the source and destination systems.
Transferring the partition state from the source to destination. The same command is used to launch inactive and active migrations. The HMC determines the appropriate type of migration to use based on the state of the mobile partition.
Completing the migration by freeing unused resources on the source system and the HMC.
