Verifying the destination server for Active Memory Expansion

To migrate an AIX® mobile partition that uses Active Memory™ Expansion, verify that the destination server is capable of Active Memory Expansion by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

1. In the navigation pane, open Systems Management and select Servers.
2. Select the destination server in the work pane.
3. From the Tasks menu, select Properties.
4. Click the Capabilities tab.
   • If Active Memory Expansion Capable is True, the destination server is capable of Active Memory Expansion.
   • If Active Memory Expansion Capable is False, the destination server is not capable of Active Memory Expansion, and you cannot migrate the mobile partition to the server. To migrate the mobile partition, change the partition configuration so that it does not use Active Memory Expansion.
5. Click OK.

   The HMC Classic interface is not supported in Hardware Management Console (HMC) Version 8.7.0, or later. The functions that were previously available in the HMC Classic interface are now available in the HMC Enhanced+ interface.

   When the HMC is at version 8.7.0, or later, complete the following steps to verify that the destination server is capable of Active Memory Expansion:

   1. In the navigation pane, click the Resources icon .
   2. Click All Systems. The All Systems page is displayed.
   3. In the work pane, select the system and click Actions > View System Properties. The Properties page is displayed.
   4. Click Licensed Capabilities. The Licensed Capabilities page lists the features that are supported by the server.
   5. In the Licensed Capabilities page, verify the list of features that are displayed.
      • If Active Memory Expansion Capable is marked by the icon, the destination server supports the Active Memory Expansion capability.
      • If Active Memory Expansion Capable is marked by the icon, the destination server does not support the Active Memory Expansion capability, and you cannot migrate the mobile partition to the server. To migrate the mobile partition, change the partition configuration so that it does not use Active Memory Expansion.
