How Live Partition Mobility (LPM) works in LPAR2RRD

  • There are 4 additional "LPM" graphs for each lpars which has been anyhow migrated (LPM/off-line) in the past (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly) and its complete CPU history on all servers where it has been running
  • Each LPM graph shows CPU utilization of a particular lpar in given time period. Servers where the lpar has been running are differentiating by colors.
  • Historical reports are LPM aware
  • Once the lpar is moved, then it immediately (next lpar2rrd run) disappears from the source system (before it took 10 days)
  • LPAR2RRD initially graphs all past LPM actions which are found in your LPAR2RRD data history. It means you get graphed all LPM actions since LPAR2RRD has started data collection
  • LPM functionality does not support trend graphs and export to CSV so far

LPM functionality is not freely available. It is provided only to customers under support.
