In case the lpar is migrated to second frame I believe the ip of node would change in this case please confirm

Additionally,if the lpar are in cluster in that case I believe there would be a simple process to migrate lpar. Please correct me.

What I understand from our project environment is there are 11 lpar in the problematic frame and other 10 whcih were in cluster got easily migrated and the one lpar is not in cluster so can be migrated using live partition mobility only.
Additionally,how can we check if partition mobility is supported in the hardware.


Best regards,
Vishal

If an LPAR is migrated, then you would either need to keep the IP address (subject to the physical network restrictions) or update the DNS records, local host files, tnanames.ora on clients etc. or wherever you have hard-coded the IP address.

There should not be a problem with keeping the IP address the same unless you have your frames in different network segments that require different address ranges to be used.

If you do keep the IP address the same, ensure that you do not bring up multiple versions of the same LPAR (using the same IP address) at the same time.

Hi,

Just a little thing..

I dont know anything about RAC, but I supposed you have vios and powerVM? If that true, you need enterprise edition in order to use live partition mobility on your lpars.
And of course, meet all requisits for LPM Smilie
