6 PowerVM Migration from Physical to Virtual Storage
In Table 1-1 a number of migrations are presented from a source host
configuration through to the destination host configuration. The table is not
exclusive of any other forms of migration. However, the procedures and thus the
lab-tested methods detailed in subsequent chapters in this book are derived from
this table. You may find methods that work better in your particular environments
especially since this book exclusively discusses IBM-specific technologies. The
Destination Host Configuration Column presents what has been tested as the
primary target, with alternative targets in parentheses.
