Abstract

See full text

A method and system for determining hardware and software compatibility related to mobility of virtual servers. Upon receiving an inventory of properties of a managed server which are relevant for compatibility testing, mandatory and optional properties available for use in a compatibility policy for a WPAR instance running on the managed server are defined. Mandatory compatibility tests are selected based on the mandatory properties in the compatibility policy for the WPAR instance. Optional compatibility tests are selected based on the optional properties in the compatibility policy for the WPAR instance. The selected mandatory and optional compatibility tests are associated with the compatibility policy, wherein the selected tests are executed to compare a profile of a potential target system with the WPAR instance and to determine compatibility of the potential target system with the WPAR instance prior to performing a mobility operation of the WPAR instance.
