RE: v4r5 to v5r4

Jim,

Remember that you can do the upgrade to V5R2 and the machine will
run for 70 days without keys. Its just a matter of getting your hands on a
set of CDs. Then you can upgrade from that to V5R4. That would be the easy
way to do it.

Otherwise, I have done these in the past. Installed the new (V5R4)
Lic and i5/OS on the new machine. Then restored all the user profiles, I
usually don't do the config, but just bring stuff over with a RTVCFGSRC and
work theru that manually, then restore the NONSYS, the DLOs, the IFS. Then
immediately, upgrade all the licensed programs, and apply PTFs

I need to verify there is not an IBM documented and supported method to
install a new i5, starting from a v4r5 save system tape. For many years
I've understood only up to 2 releases back (v5r2) is supported in such an
install. Have done many successful installs of more than 2 releases back,
but not with IBM documented steps (unless doing v4r5 to v5r2 (which we don't
have and not entitled to) then to v5r4).
