Rob,

Yeah, didn't realize IBM had a published migration now :)

As far as #2, as I read the OP...he has a v5r4 machine and the new 7.1
machine...so there's no reason not to test...granted would be a bit
difficult to test his apps on 7.1 prior to upgrading the v5r4 machine...but
certainly if he's going to go direct from v5r4 to 7.1 he should be able to
test the process.

I agree with you Charles. But...

1 - If IBM publishes the 'migration' at

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/topic/rzamc/rzamc1.htm
then that must be another officially supported path also.

2 - Not everyone has multi lpar or multi box environments to test.
Granted, this person will have a new system which could be an ideal test
environment. Perhaps we don't know all the details, like is the new
system really functional without taking some critical hardware out of the
old one and putting it into the new one?
