Sorry, knowing that you know all this, I did not mean to reply as to a newbie.There used to be those RISC to RISC roadmaps, don't know if they still exist. But I did find that the hardware infocenter might have something like that. I went to www.iseries.ibm.com/infocenter and took the link to the hardware infocenter, where there is a section on updating or migrating your server. If you've not been there yet, see if it is helpful.

Actually, that is where I first started. I scanned the infocenter for something that looked like restoring a SAVSYS from one model to another, or something like that. I am pretty familiar with upgrading an OS on the same system. I am familiar with doing a scratch install. What I am not familiar with is restoring a SAVSYS from a model 270 to an i5 520, which is (I think) one of the options I can take. Both machines are at V5R3M0 (actually, I think the i5 520 will be at V5R3M5 but I am not sure). I don't mind reading through the entire "Install, upgrade, or delete i5/OS and related software" section of the info center, I actually skimmed it looking for the upgrade scenario I think I will encounter, but I failed to find anything that seemed similar. I was hoping for a quick list of what to do and where to find it to shorten the "search curve".
