Re: Going from v4r4 to v5r3 or 4

Here's what I have done in the past and been pretty successful ( haven't 
tried this to V5R4 )...

The 30K foot level is 

#1 Order the 520 as a RISC to RISC 
        or if it comes preloaded do a manual IPL to DST and clear the ASP.

#2 Install the Base OS from CD

#3 Use the Go Restore Option #21 to restore the rest of the system
        Be sure to say "YES" to Restore to a Different System

#4 Now Use the Install License Program from the Go LICPGM menu to 
"upgrade"
        all the products and add any new you want.

#5 Fix System values etc that are stored in QSYS

#6 Use WRKHDWPRD to remap resources as required

#7 Apply all the current PTFs (CUME, Groups etc )

#8 Test, Test and Test.

Going from v4r4 to v5r3 or 4







I have a new 520 being shipped tomorrow with v5r3.  I have an old box 
running v4r4.  Does anyone know if I should load v5r4 on the 520 before 
trying to convert from v4r4?

Does anyone know how to convert from v4r4 to v5r3 or 4?

Thank you,

Gary Kuznitz
