Abstract

A partition function is transferred from a source system to a multi-tenant target environment. The transfer is executed from a source system to a multi-tenant target environment. Physical and logical input/output (I/O) configuration settings of a partition image are separated on the source system, moving logical I/O configuration settings from the source system to a remote multi-tenant target environment. A dedicated target system of the remote multi-tenant target environment is selected. Physical information about hardware and connections of the dedicated target system are added to the logical I/O configuration settings. The logical I/O configuration settings combined with the physical information in the target system are activated. An operating system with the activated logical I/O configuration is started such that the partition function is transferred.
