Announcement Support for this product will end on November 3, 2025. We recommend that you use PATROL for Linux, PATROL for AIX, or PATROL for Solaris to monitor operating systems.

Monitoring live application and live partition mobility

Monitoring live application mobility

Live application mobility enables you to migrate a WPAR from one AIX system to another without disrupting its services. The migration operation is completely transparent.

To view live application mobility

  1. Access the WPAR application class so that you can view its parameters.
  2. Open the WPARWparMigrationsPerHr parameter to display the number of WPAR migrations that occurred within the last hour. BMC PATROL displays a graph that shows the requested information over time.

Monitoring live partition mobility

Live partition mobility allows you to migrate running AIX and Linux partitions (and their hosted applications) from one physical server to another without disrupting the infrastructure services. The migration operation maintains the complete system transactional integrity.

Warning

Note

Monitoring live partition mobility by using PATROL for UNIX and Linux is supported only on the AIX platform.

To View Live Partition Mobility

  1. Access the AIX_VIRTUALIZATION application class so that you can view its parameters.
  2. Open the VIRLparMigrationsPerHr parameter to display the number of LPAR migrations that occurred within the last hour. BMC PATROL displays a graph that shows the requested information over time.
