3.4 PowerVM
The PowerVM platform is the family of technologies, capabilities, and offerings that deliver
industry-leading virtualization on the IBM Power Systems. It is the umbrella branding term
for Power Systems virtualization (Logical Partitioning, IBM Micro-Partitioning®, POWER
Hypervisor, Virtual I/O Server, Live Partition Mobility, Workload Partitions, and more). As
with Advanced Power Virtualization in the past, PowerVM is a combination of hardware
enablement and value-added software. The licensed features of each of the three separate
editions of PowerVM are described in 3.4.1, “PowerVM editions” on page 126.
Moving an LPAR: If you want to move an LPAR that uses Active Memory Expansion to a
system that uses Live Partition Mobility, the target system must support Active Memory
Expansion (the target system must have Active Memory Expansion activated with the
software key). If the target system does not have Active Memory Expansion activated, the
mobility operation fails during the premobility check phase, and an appropriate error
message is displayed.
