Additional ways to import Power LPARs into Skytap

Though there is a large variety of public templates in Skytap, your company may have unique requirements. In these cases, you can export your pre-configured Power A CPU architecture that supports IBM i, AIX, and Linux (on Power) in Skytap. LPARs and import them as Skytap VMs.

Notes

When you import VM files into Skytap:
  • You verify that your LPARs meet the import requirements.
  • Your files are packaged together as an import job and uploaded to a Skytap FTP server.
  • The Skytap import services copy the files from the import job and transforms them into a fully functional Skytap environment.

Once the virtual environment is created, you can begin using Skytap features with it.

Currently, Power VMs can be imported only via the Skytap VM Imports tab.
