Live partition mobility in a computing environment that includes a source system and a target system may be carried out by: pausing a logical partition on the source system, wherein the logical partition is mapped to an I/O adapter of the source system; copying, to the target system, configuration information describing the mapping of the logical partition to the I/O adapter; copying, to the target system, the logical partition of the source system; placing an I/O adapter of the target system into an error state; mapping, in dependence upon the configuration information, the logical partition of the target system to the I/O adapter of the target system; placing the I/O adapter of the target system into an error recovery state; and resuming the logical partition on the target system.
A method of live partition mobility in a computing environment, the computing environment comprising a target system, the method comprising:
An apparatus for live partition mobility in a computing environment, the computing environment comprising a source system and a target system, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out:
A computer program product for live partition mobility in a computing environment, the computing environment comprising a source system and a target system, the computer program product disposed upon a computer readable storage medium, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a signal, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out:
