RE: Complete Box Swap 620 @ V4R5 to 810 LPAR @ V5R2 - what to watch for, etc.

Chuck -

FYI, per page 332 of the V5R2 Backup and Recovery manual you CAN restore
previous release user data to a new system.

The basic steps are:
1.)     Install the LIC and O/S on the target system using your new release
distribution media.

2.)     Restore the system and user data to the target system using the
Option 21 save of the source system.

3.)     Update the system information on the target system.

4.)     Install QGPL, QUSRSYS, Base Options, and LPP's using the new release
media on the target system.  This converts the restored source data to the
new target release.

Oh, and Vern, "Have a lot of fun..." is what you see when you sign on to a
guest SuSE Linux instance on your iSeries....

Thanks Scott,

Luckily this is a pretty small system and I'm the only IT person. Last place
we had a pretty big staff and I was never sure who had done what or stuck
what where to be sure we had everything. That is one case where the
"upgrade" helps :-)

And thanks for the query tip - quick way to check that ! I've done a ton of
stuff with the Reply List, etc.

Chuck
