Is in-active migration supported?

Is in-active (VM in shutoff state) migration supported? Currently in PowerVC (V 1.3.0.2), when VM is in shutoff state, the "migration" button is disabled.

HMC supports in-active migration too

    This is supported now in PowerVC 1.4.4 release, with support for inactive migration of virtual machines feature. Thanks again for this suggestion!

    This would be great enhancement; especially when moving large database workloads with high memory IO & all-time changing data...it takes hours to do online migration..

    Hopefully this will also work for Novallink environments that we use.

    Thanks for the feedback - currently inactive migrations are not supported by PowerVC. We have this as an enhancement on our product roadmap for a future release of PowerVC.
