How to migrate HP-UX workloads between physical and virtual servers easily

Figure 2. Activated logical server
Logical servers can be divided into two categories:
• Physical logical servers: to be activated on blade servers in an infrastructure with Virtual Connect modules.
• Virtual logical servers: to be activated in a virtual machine hosted by a blade server or rackmount or a
HP Superdome 2 Server.
With this new level of abstraction, cross-technology move operations in an Insight Management environment are
performed by automated migration of a virtual logical server to a physical logical server or vice versa.
Portability groups
Use a portability group to define the move and portability constraints of a logical server. During the installation of
Matrix OE, create default portability groups like “each virtual connect domain group” and “all HP Integrity VM hosts.”
Logical servers can migrate within the members of the same portability group.
