Live partition mobility in a computing environment that includes a source system and a target system may be carried out by: pausing a logical partition on the source system, wherein the logical partition is mapped to an I/O adapter of the source system; copying, to the target system, configuration information describing the mapping of the logical partition to the I/O adapter; copying, to the target system, the logical partition of the source system; placing an I/O adapter of the target system into an error state; mapping, in dependence upon the configuration information, the logical partition of the target system to the I/O adapter of the target system; placing the I/O adapter of the target system into an error recovery state; and resuming the logical partition on the target system.
