Since you are moving it to a new location will any IP addresses be
changing?

You may want to check your Host Table and see if there are any IP
addresses listed that may change.

If you are emailing from your iSeries AS/400 will the SMTP IP address be
changing?

Good Luck

Hi All,
 
We are going to be moving our 9406 next month to a new location and have
all the plans set as far as moving it to the new spot about 30 miles
away.
Movers/Insurance all taken care of.
 
IBM was more than willing to help us.....and we were intrigued until
they said how much it "potentially" would cost :) We figured the figure
they quoted us was the "low end".
 
We have 24/7 Coverage on the iSeries....so if something decides to not
spin up or something "breaks" we can just call if/when it comes to that
on the Friday night/Saturday when we turn it back on.
 
I called up IBM inquiring about any special shutdown procedures we
should be aware of prior to the move but they said other than due
diligence there is no real checklist to follow.
 
There is no need to worry about parking the drive heads or anything like
that with these machines like you used to have to worry about.
 
So that seems to me to say:
 
A) Do a full backup (potentially 2) and keep the backup(s) with me.
B) Do the PWRDWNSYS command with no startup
C) Label all the cables (where they go.....where they came
from)
 
Does anybody have any other suggestions ?
