Claim:
1. A computer program product for performing a code load update to update a source partition in a computing system, wherein the source partition implements a platform code level, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that is executable to perform operations, the operations comprising: allocating computational resources in the computing system to a destination partition; applying a code load to the destination partition comprising an updated platform code level for the source partition while the source partition is operational and processing computing requests, wherein the destination partition operates with the updated platform code level as an active storage partition; blocking submission of new transactions to the source partition in response to applying the code load to the destination partition; migrating an operational environment at the source partition comprising system, memory and device state at the source partition to the destination partition in response to blocking submission of new transactions to the source partition; and directing transactions to the destination partition intended for the source partition in response to migrating the operational environment to the destination partition.
