Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
Our's is an IBM shop, We have all our AIX servers on Power 7 and built on NPIV. We LPM our servers a lot depending on the business requirement. When we have set up LPM, IBM told that the process is non-intrusive and seamless. <br />
<br />
The question is : Couple days back &nbsp;I have LPM'd a server from a Frame A to Frame B, It took almost 10 minutes. <br />
<br />
Yesterday when I moved the same server from Frame A to Frame B, During the same time &nbsp;Database team was applying Oracle PSU patches on the same, It took almost 30 minutes for the LPM to complete....<br />
<br />
This is not the first time, I have noticed this behavior, So why is there a delay, Did LPM lock somethings .. Can someone please give me an insight....????

IBM LPM Issues

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
