Re: RE: which version of AS400 Am I running?

I think Jan's prev post has links to V5R3 and V5R2 planning.
Unfortunately IBM does not (to my knowledge) maintain a
grid of hardware & OS releases. They put out planning info
at each release. What you need is the planning info for all the
releases from probably V4R5 thru V5R3.
Besides the above mentioned links in Jan's post,
a good reference may be the Migration Redbooks (go to the online
Redbooks and search for Migration in the title), which should
get you you back into the V4 era and the older hardware.
It's more complicated than just OS level & hardware model. Many
times an individual feature card or software product is removed from
support,
even though the main hardware is supported. A model 720 may run at a
certain release, but not all feature cards in the 720 may be supported.
Two different Redbooks, that change once or many times during each release
have the details, (but again, no overall grid of all releases & all
hardware)  are
the iSeries Handbook, and the System Builder.

If anyone at IBM is listening - since I'm sure IBM is interested in seeing
customers
upgrade from older non supported OS and hardware, some planning info related
to
older installs getting to current would be helpful (a Redbook maybe, or
being able to get back to
Planning Info on V4 releases via web at least).

    Eureka!!

    DSPSFWRSC (API EQUIVALENT IS QSZSLTPR) - Gives the list of installed
software products



    DSPSFWRSC with *OUTFILE we get almost all possible information

    Version level - Release Level - Modification level of every
installed software product

    Including OS/400.So this solves the software part.



     Thanks Jim for DSPSFWRSC.



     Now can anybody tell me how to find the hardware version
information? (If at all something exists like that?)



     Regards,

     S.Chand
