RE: Risc-to-Risc upgrade pitfalls

Went very smoooooth for us.  We went from a 510 to a 720, replaced most of
the dasd, brought over all the wsc & cmn cards.  We brought the 510 to 4.3
before the hardware move.  Nothing to report.

Hi,

I need some input on upgrading from a RISC box running V3R7 to a new 720
running
V4R4. The source system is a model 400. We plan to upgrade the source system
to
V4R4 in two steps (V3R7->V4R3->V4R4), save the entire system, and restore it
to
the new hardware. We only move the 8mm drive from the source to the target.
I am particullary interested in  pitfalls not documented in the Roadmap
and/or
advices from experianced people.

Regards,

     Benjamin Budai
