Chapter 9. Migration of existing LPAR profiles to HMC 267

4. Using these reports, you can identify possible ways to simplify the migration. For example:
– In the first scenario, notice that there are currently (15) FC 4318 disks units in the 810
System Unit which belong to the Primary partition. The 520 System Unit can
accommodate a maximum of 8 disk units (4 base and 4 optional). This means that
there is no room to move over intact all of the Primary Partition disks. One option
considers that there are enough PCI and Disks slots available in the 5094 to relocate
all (15) disk units along with its disk and console IOAs from the System Unit to the 520
System i5 system during the migration. This option takes advantage of no longer
requiring a Primary partition in System i5 systems System Unit, which allows all its
resources to migrate intact (P0 will become P2 after the migration). Figure 9-17
illustrates this scenario.
