IBM i on PowerVS - Migration and Backup

  • 1.  IBM i on PowerVS - Migration and Backup

    Posted Thu February 17, 2022 02:06 PM

    Hi, 
    my name is Diego Kesselman, I'm General Manager of ESSELWARE Soluciones, IBM BPs in Mexico.

    Last year I was part of the team that wrote the RedBook "IBM Power Systems Virtual Server Guide for IBM i"​

    I've alse create some articles about PowerVS, IBM i and backing up to the cloud or to NFS. You can check some of the project (repositories) on GitHub:

    In my opinion, On-Prem to cloud migration for IBM i is a complex task, because you need special and temporal resources for the migration: disk space, software, hardware, professional services, synchronization window ...

    Once your workloads are running on the cloud you need to take backups, and you need other resources:

    * IBM Cloud Storage Solutions for i or any other software

    * ISCSI VTL

    * Object Storage buckets

    * Local disk space (when using ICC)

    My question is:

    How was your experience with migration and setting up backups when moving your workloads to PowerVS?
