Abstract
A method and system for logical partition (LPAR) migration including creating a profile for a logical partition on a host system comprising one or more LPARs, wherein the profile is associated with a first name. Also, within the profile, a port of a client virtual small computer system interface (SCSI) adapter of the LPAR is mapped to a port of a server virtual SCSI adapter of a virtual input/output server (VIOS) of the host system. The server port of the VIOS is set to accept any port of virtual client SCSI adapters of the one or more LPARs of the host system. Within the VIOS, the server port of the VIOS is mapped to a device name (i.e., LPAR) and to a target device (i.e., a disk of shared storage), for purposes of proper failover implementation of the LPAR, wherein the target device comprises an operating system for the LPAR.
