3.4 PowerVM
The PowerVM platform is the family of technologies, capabilities, and offerings that deliver
industry-leading virtualization on the IBM Power Systems. It is the new umbrella branding
term for Power Systems Virtualization (Logical Partitioning, Micro-Partitioning, POWER
Hypervisor, Virtual I/O Server, Live Partition Mobility, Workload Partitions, and more). As with
Advanced Power Virtualization in the past, PowerVM is a combination of hardware
enablement and value-added software. Section 3.4.1, “PowerVM editions” on page 129,
discusses the licensed features of each of the three separate editions of PowerVM.
Note: If you want to move an LPAR using Active Memory Expansion to a different system
using Live Partition Mobility, the target system must support AME (the target system must
have AME activated with the software key). If the target system does not have AME
activated, the mobility operation fails during the pre-mobility check phase, and an
appropriate error message displays to the user.
