Re: Complete Box Swap 620 @ V4R5 to 810 LPAR @ V5R2 - what to watchfor, etc.

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Just did this last Friday. Sans the LPAR stuff. Took our 720 to an 810. Did
a GO SAVE Option 21 and a GO RESTORE Option 21. Had to go into DST and
delete some of the old hardware resources. Keep track of any modified IBM
Commands that you may have done. We did a swap, assigning the new box the
same IP address as the old one. Same system name as well. Just set up a
small lan to test the Domino and IP stuff. Pretty painless. Started a 6:00
AM and users were back on by 2:00 PM.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Folks,

Have our 810 in that will totally replace out 620 (i.e. new serial number,
taking NO hardware from the 620 to the 810, etc.). We decided to let IBM
Global Services setup the LPAR stuff. Our main software package is in one
library so that is easy. I will of course have the user profiles,
communications line (Ethernet), control units (Perle 494 TCP/IP), display
devices, printers, outqs, etc. to setup. Is there anything obvious that I
could be missing ? I've never done a complete box swap - been through a TON
of system upgrades. They both have their pluses and minuses. Nice thing
with
this is we will have a system COMPLETELY setup while the production system
rolls along :-)

Thanks !

Chuck
