An apparatus, program product and method for facilitating logical partition migrations between computers by determining if the firmware of the computers is compatible. A hypervisor of a source logical partition may transfer a token and compatibility table indicative of firmware running on the source computer. A hypervisor on the system of the target logical partition may compare the firmware indicated by the token with a token and/or compatibility table listing firmware versions compatible with the target computer. Conversely, a token of the target computer may be compared to a compatibility table associated with firmware that is compatible with the source computer. In either instance, a match may result in the migration of the logical partition. Alternatively, an absence of a match may result in the migration being prohibited.
