Export System Plan

Use this page to export a system-plan file from this Hardware Management Console (HMC). A system plan is a specification of the logical partition configuration of a single managed system. A system plan is stored in a file that is called a system-plan file. A system-plan file can contain more than one system plan.

You have three options for exporting the selected system-plan file:

• You can export the system file to the local system on which you are running the browser to access the HMC.
• You can export the system-plan file to removable media that is currently mounted to the HMC, such as optical discs or USB Mass Storage devices.
• You can export the system-plan file to a remote file transfer protocol (FTP) site. Exporting a system-plan file by means of FTP allows you to import the system-plan file into a different HMC. You can then deploy a system plan in the file to a system that the other HMC manages.
