Maintaining and managing IBM i and related software

The maintaining and managing of IBM i and related software topic describes how you can manage IBM i licensed programs and fixes in your network. It also describes how you and IBM can manage the usage, documentation, and the maintenance of software license information for certain IBM i licenses and packaged products.

Distributing software

Sometimes it is desirable to duplicate some or all of a system's programs, including the operating system, onto another system. You can also duplicate some or all of a logical partition's programs onto another logical partition. The distribution process is especially useful and convenient when your network is large and you want all the systems in your computing environment to be identical.  To be effective and time efficient, you need to plan and consider the options available for distributing software products.

Review the IBM Documentation documents for distributing software.

Data Migrations

An IBM i data migration is the process of moving data from one system or logical partition that is running IBM i to another system or logical partition running IBM i.
