Live partition mobility of management LPARs

Live partition mobility is not supported if VCS is running in the management LPAR on a physical system.

If LPARs are managed by VCS running in the management LPAR, then the live partition mobility of the management LPAR is blocked by VCS. If you need to migrate the management LPAR, use the following procedure.

To migrate the management LPAR

  1. Migrate or fail over the managed LPARs to another physical server before migrating the management LPAR.
  2. Stop the LPAR agent.
  3. Migrate the management LPAR.
  4. When management LPAR is back on the source physical server (which matches with the value of PhysicalServer in the VCS system), start the LPAR agent.

    See the Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide for more information on the LPAR agent.
