Re: Box Upgrade

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Be careful.  We've done several upgrades.  READ THE MANUAL's!  IBM has gone
to great lengths to document this stuff.  For instance:
1)  a full RSTCFG could turn the new machine into a vegetable because of
some low level stuff.
2)  You'll lose all spool files.
3)  You'll lose all entries in data queues.

Suggest reviewing both of the following:

Hi All,

Can anyone give me a confidence level on going from a Model 510 to a 720 in
one weekend ?  We will be staying at V4R4.

The plan is (as far as I know) to do a go save 21 on the 510. Shut it down,
turn on the new box, give it the same IP address and name, add the old tape
drive then restore everything.

I am very nervous that everything goes well. Are there any gotchas that I
should be aware of ?
