 PowerVM Live Partition Mobility on IBM System p
|
Live Partition Mobility allows you to migrate running AIX® and Linux® partitions and their hosted applications from one physical server to another without disrupting infrastructure services. The migration transfers the entire partition state, including processor context, memory, attached virtual devices, and connected users.
Live Partition Mobility helps you meet increasingly stringent service-level agreements (SLAs) because it allows you to proactively move running partitions and applications from systems requiring intervention or under heavy load to other systems.
Live Partition Mobility can be automated and incorporated into system management tools and scripts. Support for multiple concurrent migrations allows you to rebalance the load across systems very quickly. For single partition, user initiated migrations, the HMC offers an easy-to-use migration wizard. |
