Re: V5R1 to V5R4 on a 270

Replace the boxes?  Let me guess, you'll get a new box, loaded with V5R4 
or beyond.  Then you'll want to save this and that on your old box, at 
some earlier version of OS, and restore these on the new box and be done 
with it?  There are people who do upgrades this way but I still think it 
actually makes MORE work trying to find out what may go wrong and still 
having to fix what went wrong that you didn't catch.  After all, it's not 
like your running your system at security level 10, all users use the same 
signon, and all applications, configuration, etc are all in 1 or 2 
libraries.  This is not a S/34, S/36, S/38 or AS/400.  This is an iSeries. 
 Much of the configuration is stored all over various areas, including 
IFS.  Restoring the wrong directories in the IFS alone can get you into 
trouble (or not restoring any IFS data at all can also get you into 
trouble).
