Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method and technique is disclosed for maintaining a network connection during transfer of the workload from a global environment of a logical partition to a workload partition of the logical partition and during any subsequent transfer(s).
Claims20
A method for transferring a workload, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to transfer the workload from a global environment of a first logical partition to a workload partition of the first logical partition;
- and
- responsive to receiving the request, transferring the workload from the global environment to the workload partition while maintaining a network connection during transfer of the workload.
A system comprising:
- a bus system;
- memory connected to the bus system, wherein the memory includes computer usable program code;
- and
- a processing unit connected to the bus system, wherein the processing unit executes the computer usable program code to receive a request to transfer a workload from a global environment of a first logical partition to a workload partition of the first logical partition, and wherein the processing unit, responsive to receiving the request, transfers the workload from the global environment to the workload partition while the workload maintains a network connection.
