Transport virtual images to another server

Use these instructions to move virtual images among different servers.

A benefit of using virtual tape storage is that you can use copies of a virtual image on more than one server. To transport a virtual image to another server, use one of the following methods.

FTP

You can transfer a virtual image from one server to another by using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). To use FTP you must have TCP/IP set up and running on your server. See FTP for more information. For instructions on moving a file with FTP see Transfer files with FTP.

iSeries™ Navigator

There are two ways that you can use iSeries Navigator to transfer files between systems. The easiest way to use iSeries Navigator is to drag the file from one server to another.

You can also use Management Central in iSeries Navigator to move files. Management Central is a powerful suite of systems management functions that make managing multiple systems as easy as managing a single system. For more information, see the Management Central topic. For instructions on moving a file with Management Central, see Packaging and sending objects with Management Central.
