Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided in a data processing system for performing a logical partition migration utilizing multiple mover service partition pairs. Responsive to a virtual machine monitor initiating a logical partition migration operation to move a logical partition from a source system to a destination system, a plurality of input/output paths are established between a plurality of mover service partition pairs. The virtual machine monitor performs the logical partition migration operation using the plurality of mover service partition pairs to transfer a memory image of the logical partition from the source system to the destination system to effect the logical partition migration operation. Responsive to failure of one of the plurality of input/output paths, the virtual machine monitor may complete the logical partition migration operation using at least one remaining mover service partition pair.
