Sharon:

It is actually as easy as described. A couple of quick hint beyond what has been discussed thus far.

1) Set up the HMC and get the console going on your system FIRST. That is likely to be the hardest part since changing the console requires some tinkering.
2) Make sure you get the RIO/HSL loops correct. Not getting that right could cause performance troubles or the system may not work. You did not say if there were any other chassis on the system. If not, make sure the proper hardware in on the 525 to connect the loop in the first place. If there are, there is a limit of 6 chassis on the loop.
3) The SPCN cables also need to be set up properly so study that.

It might be best if you have your IBM CE do the connections (you will have to pay him) or a certified business partner.

One last thing. If you bring up your new LPAR and it gives you any messages about wanting to add new disk units and such, STOP! You have something configured wrong. If you stop at that point, you can correct it without data loss, if you start the process to add the disk, it's reload time.......

I can handle the software side and have nearly all of that sorted out.
It was the 595 rack move that I was concerned with. I understand what
you mean about "point". Now I have a better feel for what needs to be
done.

Just in case, I intend to have two complete backups on hand.
