Re: replace as400 network test

OpsNav is my concern. I assume it will see the new box at the old address. 
NetServer shares will need to be reconfigured in OpsNav - there IS a 
green-screen way but not friendly, IIRC.

Whatever user ID/password you have on the first machine, that you use in 
OpsNav, be sure it is on the new box.
