Actually, the upgrade to V5R2 is not an absolute necessity, but it does make for a "safer" conversion. We converted from a 620 at V4R5 to the 520 at V5R3 in one step. We did just as Jean Claude mentioned, we started the 520, installed LIC, OS/400 and LPPs, configured the network, then did the Restore from the 620. There are a few gotcha's with things that won't convert/restore, but mostly minor (at least for us).

Therefore its two steps. Also, make sure you have a Current set of CDs for V5R3 and the latest Cum CDs. THen and only then when you are on V5R3 can you save the 820 and restore it to the 520. Life is always so much easier when moving from one machine to the other and you are on the same release.

Does it mean I have to migrate my 820 first in V5R2 before saving and restoring on 520 ? Is there a simplier way in my case ? I thought I could simply start my 520, install LIC, OS/400 and LPPs, configure network and then restore CFG, PRF, *NONSYS, DLO,... from 820.

This will save you time in the long run. When I de-install lots of LPPs, I submit batch jobs multi-threaded to do this in parallel. >5. Get the latest CDs for V5R2, and install LIC, OS/400, QGPL and QUSRSYS. Skip any PTF's unless required. There is 1 PTF that you will need for V5R3 that comes with the V5R3 media, so put that on. >6. Immediately install V5R3, and all required LPPs. Do not say "Install All", because it will. Tick off the LPPs that you want. You will have to hang around during the LPP installs to "Accept License Agreements". This is new for V5R3, so you may want to read up on it. You cannot "Accept the License Agreements" in advance (preferred method) for the LPPs, because they weren't there. > This is not quite true, the "required PTFs" that come on an extra CD-ROM give you a menu similar to those upgrade preparation menus when converting from CISC-to-RISC. You are able to accept the license agreement(s) from there in advance and I didn't need to babysit that upgrade to press the F14-button to accept them on a one-by-one basis. There was a memo to users describing that process. HTH, Philipp >7 Install PTFs and go. > >It will be a long day. I just did a V4R4 to V5R2 using comparable methodology, and it took 12 hours on a 720. Based on speed of processor, it could take longer, because of "Accepting the License Agreements". > >Al > >Al Barsa, Jr. >Barsa Consulting Group, LLC > >400>390 > >"i" comes before "p", "x" and "z" >e gads > >Our system's had more names than Elizabeth Taylor! > >914-251-1234 >914-251-9406 fax > >http://www.barsaconsulting.com >http://www.taatool.com >http://www.as400connection.com > > > > >"Condon, Mike" <M1C@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx >10/08/2004 10:49 AM >Please respond to >Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > > >To >"'Midrange Systems Technical Discussion'" <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> cc > >Subject >OS 400 upgrade > > > > > > >Is an upgrade from OS400 v4r5 to v5r3 a one step process, or does it require >an intermediate upgrade, for example v4r5->v5r1->v5r3? >-- >This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list >To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx >To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, >visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l >or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx >Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives >at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l. > > >-- >This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx >To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, >visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l >or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx >Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives >at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l. > > > > -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l. -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l. -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
