Introducing IBM i Services - the future of systems management

IBM i Services are perhaps the best-kept secret of managing and monitoring IBM i. Relatively few users of our favourite platform know what they are and even fewer use them regularly. This is a crying shame as they are truly remarkable. IBM i Services can tell you in seconds what it takes a skilled system operator minutes or even hours to discover. In this session, we explain what IBM i Services are, how you use them and why they can give you a better answer than the tools we had available to us before.

LPARKit- Tool for quick deployment LPARs and cloning IBM i OS using the HMC/VIOS or Virtual Partition Manager

LPARKit is a green screen interface which isolate VIOS/HMC layer from IBM i administrator. It allows quick deployment of LPAR and clone IBM i operating system from the template partition. It also allow to manage virtual storage adapters, maping/unmaping vSCSI disks or creating virtual adapters reports in the spool or csv file.
For small customers which use IBM i as the hosting LPAR, it provides a new interface for quick LPAR creation rather than use Virtual Partition Manager in SST. It also provide a mechanism to clone the operating system stored as NWSD object.

The tool can be also used in the private cloud as a native green-screen deployment interface or by business partners. A BP can prepare IBM i image with all PTFs, toolset required by a customer, store it as a binary image and deploy on the customer machine.
