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

We are replacing our 820 with an 810 and will run parallel with the 810 before 
moving pieces of the 820 over. All our production dasd will be
new  18 -35 gig drives and I will move over 12 - 17 gig drives for my new LPAR.

It should be interesting.
