This task is used to export a system plan to other systems or other
HMCs.
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.
