PowerPath: AIX Live Partition Mobility (LPM) Validation fails from the HMC when moving a LPAR

Moving  and LPAR using Live Partition Mobility (LPM) is Validated from the HMC from frame A to frame B.it fails with the following error
This is the HMC error:

HSCLA24E The migrating partition's virtual SCSI adapter 482 cannot be hosted by the existing virtual I/O server (VIOS) partitions on the destination managed system.
To migrate the partition, set up the necessary VIOS hosts on the destination managed system, then try the operation again.

AIX 6.1 T.L.
PowerPath 5.5 P06
PowerPath 6.0.0
ODM 5.3.0.8 AND 5.3.0.9
VIOS 2.2.2.2

Customer was moving and LPAR live using LPM (( Live Partition Mobility)) from frame A to frame B causing and HMC internal error to appear creating a failure of the Live move.

Customer had different versions of Powerpath on the two LPARS

This issue was caused by PowerPath 5.5 P06.
 
PowerPath 5.5 is NOT supported VMAX3 on AIX platform as of the creation of this Sales Force article.
PowerPath 5.7 SP2 supports VMAX3 with limited features.
PowerPath 6.0 and later versions provide full support to VMAX3.
 
as of the creation of this Sales Force article.

 
So the resolution is to Upgrade to Powerpath 6.0.0.0 or higher which will correct the unique_id by making them the same.
