Abstract
An apparatus, program product and method for tracking the state of a migrating logical partition. Embodiments may use the state to determine the readiness and/or appropriateness of a page of the logical partition for transferring. The state may include a value or other data used to track changes affecting the page or the relative ease and/or appropriateness of migrating the page. A page manager table with entries corresponding to the state of each page of the logical partition may be used to track the state while the logical partition continues to run during a migration.
