Take your backup tape from any iSeries (or AS/400 or S/38), from any version of the software, from any version of the hardware. Now restore it on any other iSeries (with OS release at or greater than the release it was saved at). Your data will be fine. And if your program is observable, your program will be converted and will run. Restore your saved OS on any machine with compatible hardware (ie CISC to CISC, RISC to RISC), and it will load and run. It doesn't matter that you have more or fewer disks, more or fewer comm lines, etc. etc. Try -that- on a Windoze machine! --Paul E Musselman PaulMmn@ix.netcom.nospam.com
From: David Gibbs <david@midrange.com>>Nothing, actually ... just going to take the same two 20gb drives & raid controller and drop them into the new system. Linux will automatically adapt to the new hardware and work as before."Leif Svalgaard" <leif@leif.org> replied: try that on an AS/400 :-)
