Re: 820 to 520 Upgrade

If you don't upgrade the 820 to V5R3, and then scratch install the 520 with
the 820 save tape, you could lose stuff.  It's possible to do with great
difficulty, but IBM does not recommend this approach.

A customer plans to upgrade from 820 to 520.
820 presently runs V5R2.
The 520 will be a brand new machine, thus running V5R3.
Some features from the 820 will be moved to the new 520, BUT NO OLD
DISKS (some 6 and 8GB's) will be moved to the new machine: 520 will just
use its own 35GB disks

They've been told that 820 needs to be upgraded to V5R3 BEFORE
saving/restoring things from 820 to 520.

I searched the Archives and found several posts more or less in that
same line, e.g.:
    "Then and only then when you are on V5R3 can you save the 820 and
restore it to the 520."

My question is: what's the reason we cannot just save user profiles,
programs, files, etc fron V5R2 machine and then restore them to the new
V5R3 machine?

TIA
