Group,

We're in the process of consolidating our physical machines onto a PowerVM system. Is there a recommended or "best practice" for moving the data from the physical box to the LPAR? For instance, should you use rsync or simply tar and untar? What have others done when faced with this kind of project?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Riker,

It depends on the set-up of your physical machines, do you use SAN as your disk for your Data? One tool you may use in migrating is the NIM, it is very useful in migration.
