    We need to migrate several AIX 7.1 LPARs running PowerHA 7.1 between different sites

    This is a big customer (bank) and we need to move everything between different countries

    We need to know if we can keep the current PowerHA licenses or need to buy new onces ?

    Source and destination frames are Power8, but they are different hardware, hence, different serial numbers

    Not sure how the PowerHA licensing works when moving to different hardware

    Anyone with experience on this?

    I've searched redbooks, developerworks, google, etc.. can't find info about this
