Re: Converting 150 to 520 RSTCFG?

I agree with Jim here.
First of all, running RSTCFG without SRM(*NONE) to a different machine may
turn it into a vegetable. Kind of covered in the system migration guide.
Second, Jim's right on the differences. Let me give you an example.
Migrating that 10MB token ring lan line to a 1GB Ethernet will require
changing a lot of parameters. Heck, migrating a 10/100 ethernet to a 1GB
ethernet requires a lot of changes.

Here's a compromise. Do the following:
RTVCFGSRC *ALL to a source file.
Pour through that source. Edit/change as needed.
Restore to different machine. Try compiling it and running it.

See also
WRKHDWRSC *CMN and it's other possible values.

I would not unless there are specific devices you will need. I'd recreate
everything. There is just too much difference between the hardware models
to have all the unsupported and odd stuff on the target box. The cleanup
will take longer than just recreating everything.

I have an AS/400 9401 model 150 running V4r4.
I need to convert everything to a 9405-520 running V5R3.

Should I run RSTCFG on the 520?

Of course the configurations are not identical.
It would be nice if I didn't have to reconfigure all the displays.

Thanks,
