Use these instructions to move virtual images among different servers.
One benefit of using virtual optical 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. 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 instructions on moving a file with Management Central, see Packaging
and sending objects with Management Central.
- QFilesvr.400
- The i5/OS™ File
Server file system (QFileSvr.400) is an integrated file system that provides
transparent access to other file systems that reside on remote servers. For
more information about QFileSvr.400 see i5/OS File Server file system (QFileSvr.400).
Note: The
largest file size that you can transfer using QFileSvr.400 is 4 GB.
