A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for managing and balancing load in multiple managed systems in a logical partitioning data processing system. Responsive to a critical logical partition requiring additional resources, the mechanism determines whether one or more managed systems have available resources to satisfy resource requirements of the critical partition. The mechanism performs at least one partition migration operation to move at least one logical partition between managed systems responsive to determining that one or more managed systems have available resources to satisfy resource requirements of the critical partition. The mechanism performs at least one dynamic logical partitioning operation to allocate resources to at least one of the one or more critical logical partitions responsive to performing the at least one partition migration operation.
