Overview
Live Partition Mobility moves a running logical partition from one POWER6 server to another one without disrupting the operation of the operating system or applications Network applications may see a brief (~2 sec) suspension toward the end of the migration, but connectivity will not be lost
4-May-12
Overview
Live Partition Mobility is useful for
Server consolidation Workload balancing Preparing for planned maintenance e.g., planned hardware maintenance or upgrades In response to a warning of an impending hardware failure
4-May-12
Overview
Inactive partition migration moves a powered-off partition from one system to another
Less restrictive validation process because the migrated partition will boot on the target machine; no running state needs to be transferred
4-May-12
Overview
Live Partition Mobility is not a replacement for HACMP

Planned moves only everything functional It is not automatic on a failure event Partitions cannot be migrated from failed machines Moving a single OS; there is not a redundant, failover OS that an HACMP resource group is restarted in It is not a disaster recovery solution Migration across long distances is not supported in the first release because of SAN and LAN considerations

4-May-12
Prerequisites
All systems that will host a mobile partition must be on the same subnet and managed by a single HMC POWER6 Blades are managed by IVM instances All systems must be connected to shared physical disks (LUNs) in a SAN subsystem with no scsi reserve
SDDPCM, SVC, RDAC based LUN $ chdev dev hdisk8 attr reserve_policy=no_reserve
PowerPATH CLARiiON LUN $ chdev dev hdiskpower8 attr reserve_lock=no no LVM-based virtual disks no virtual disk logical volumes carved in VIO All resources must be shared or virtualized prior to migration (e.g., vscsi, virtual Ethernet)
4-May-12
Prerequisites
The pHypervisor will automatically manage migration of CPU and memory
Dedicated IO adapters must be de-allocated before migration cd0 in VIO may not be attached to mobile LPAR as virtual optical device The operating system and applications must be migration-aware or migration-enabled
10
4-May-12
Validation High Level

Partition State Transfer Flow
13
4-May-12
Migration Steps
The HMC creates a shell partition on the destination system
The HMC configures the source and destination Mover Service Partitions (MSP) MSPs connect to PHYP thru the Virtual Asynchronous Services Interface (VASI) The MSPs set up a private, full-duplex channel to transfer partition state data The HMC sends a Resource Monitoring and Control (RMC) event to the mobile partition so it can prepare for migration The HMC creates the virtual target devices and virtual SCSI adapters in the destination MSP The MSP on the source system starts sending the partition state to the MSP on the destination server
14 4-May-12
Migration Steps
The source MSP keeps copying memory pages to the target in successive phases until modified pages have been reduced to near zero
The MSP on the source instructs the PHYP to suspend the mobile partition The mobile partition confirms the suspension by suspending threads The source MSP copies the latest modified memory pages and state data Execution is resumed on the destination server and the partition reestablishes the operating environment
The mobile partition recovers I/O on the destination server and retries all uncompleted I/O operations that were going on during the suspension
It also sends gratuitous ARP requests to all VLAN adapters (MAC address(es) are preserved)
15
4-May-12
Migration Steps
When the destination server receives the last modified pages, the migration is complete
In the final steps, all resources are returned to the source and destination systems and the mobile partition is restored to its fully functional state
The channel between MSPs is closed

The VASI channel between MSP and PHYP is closed VSCSI adapters on the source MSP are removed The HMC informs the MSPs that the migration is complete and all migration data can be removed from their memory tables The mobile partition and all its profiles are deleted from the source server You can now add dedicated adapters to the mobile partition via DLPAR as needed, or put it in an LPAR workload group
16
4-May-12
Effects
Server properties The affinity characteristics of the logical memory blocks may change
The maximum number of potential and installed physical processors may change
The L1 and/or L2 cache size and association may change This is not a functional issue, but may affect performance characteristics Console Any active console sessions will be closed when the partition is migrated Console sessions must be re-opened on the target system by the user after migration LPAR uname will change. Partition ID may change. IP address, MAC address will not change.
17 4-May-12
Effects
Network A temporary network outage of seconds is expected to occur as part of suspending the partition Temporary network outages may be visible to application clients, but it is assumed that these are inherently recoverable VSCSI Server Adapters Adapters that are configured with the remote partition set to the migrating partition will be removed Adapters that are configured to allow any partition to connect will be left configured after the migration Any I/O operations that were in progress at time of the migration will be retried once the partition is resumed As long as unused virtual slots exist on the target VIO server, the necessary VSCSI controllers and target devices will be automatically created
18
4-May-12
Effects
Error logs When a partition migrates all of the error logs that the partition had received will appear on the target system All of the error logs contain the machine type, model, and serial number so it is possible to correlate the error with the system that detected it Partition time When a partition is migrated the Time of Day and timebase values of the partition are migrated. The Time of Day of the partition is recalculated ensuring partition timebase value increases monotonically and accounting for any delays in migration.

IBM Training - 2008 Systems Technical Conference Client hdisk0, set hcheck_interval to 300 before reboot Client sees one hdisk with two MPIO paths lspath l hdisk0
Initial Configuration
Paths are fail_over only. No load balancing in client MPIO

hdisk6 and 7 in each VIO server attached to vscsi server adapter as a raw disk
SDDPCM SDDPCM
No scsi reserve set on hdisk6, 7 in each VIO server. Also, with two fcs in a VIO server, change algorithm to round_robin for hdisk1. SDDPCM, RDAC, or PowerPATH driver installed in each VIO server
LUNs appears in each VIO server as hdisk6, 7 RAID5 LUNs carved in storage, zoned to 4 FC adapters in the two VIO servers
23 4-May-12
This LUN is zoned into another two VIO LPARs, on the other Power6 server also
Initial Configuration (continued)

Source Power6 server mercury has dual VIO LPARs, ec01 and ec02. SEA Failover primary is ec01, backup is ec02.
Destination Power6 server zeus has dual VIO LPARs, sq17 and sq18. SEA Failover primary is sq17, backup is sq18 Profile for client partition bmark29_mobile has virtual scsi client adapter IDs 8 and 9 connecting to ec01 (39) and ec02 (39) respectively. Do NOT expect server adapter IDs to remain the same after partition move.
24
4-May-12

In VIO LPARs ec01 and ec02, hdisk6 and hdisk7 are LUNs we use for bmark26 and bmark29 mobile LPARs.

NIM install completes. One command included in the NIM script resource, running at the end of install, and before boot
chdev -l hdisk0 -a hcheck_interval=300 P
Sets MPIO to test failed and non-active paths every 5 minutes, bring them online if available. The newly Installed and booted LPAR has two vscsi client adapters
# lsdev -Cc adapter -F "name physloc" | grep vscsi vscsi0 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V9-C8-T1 vscsi1 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V9-C9-T1
Two MPIO paths to hdisk0

# lspath -l hdisk0 Enabled hdisk0 vscsi0 Enabled hdisk0 vscsi1
The PVID we expected does come thru from VIO to the Client LPAR

4-May-12
As migration starts, in the All Partitions view we see the LPAR residing on both Power6 servers
42
4-May-12
Further along in the migration, we see the LPAR in Migrating-Running Status
43
4-May-12
Migration Complete
Migrated LPAR resides solely on new server.
44
4-May-12
Migration Complete
Migration preserved my old profile, and created a new one
Same client adapter IDs, but different VIO server adapter IDs
45
4-May-12
Device Mapping after Migration

Migration used new VIO server adapter IDs, even when same adapter IDs were available
$ hostname sq17 $ sk_lsmap vhost0 U9117.MMA.109A4AF-V1-C15 vhost1 U9117.MMA.109A4AF-V1-C16 vhost2 U9117.MMA.109A4AF-V1-C39 vhost3 U9117.MMA.109A4AF-V1-C14 vtscsi0 hdisk7
Migration did not use ID 39 in destination VIO LPARs
When you migrate back, do not expect to be back on your original VIO Server adapter IDs. Your old client LPAR profile is historical, but will not likely be usable without some reconfig. Best to create a new profile on the way back over.
46
4-May-12
Device Mapping after Migration

Back on the source server, device mappings for your client LPAR have been completely removed from the VIO LPARs
$ hostname ec01 ec01 $ sk_lsmap vhost0 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V1-C11 vhost1 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V1-C12 vhost2 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V1-C15 vhost3 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V1-C32 vhost4 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V1-C20 vhost5 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V1-C13 vhost6 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V1-C14 vhost7 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V1-C16 vhost8 U9117.MMA.1023C9F-V1-C21
