Abstract:
In one embodiment, a data structure stores information about the number of client virtual I/O adapters, the number of possible destination VIOS hosts and the number of available slots on those hosts. The information is used to iteratively assign adapters to available slots of the VIOS hosts of the destination server to which a client partition is to be migrated. A method comprises testing the data structure to determine whether conditions exist that make allocation of the adapter to a VIOS host unquestionable.
