Tommy,

Why did you *HAVE* to do a scratch install? I do these all the
time, and I just copy the load-source, and never have to do a scratch
install. You copy the current load source to a non-configured drive, bring
system down, pull out the old load source, put the new copied drive into the
load source location, and ipl.

Subject: Re: Upgrade disk and OS

we just went through a similar upgrade to our systems (2 weekends ago) for
the 141GB drives be prepared for a long wait for those to set up parity
(took us 6 hrs per LPAR with 12 141GB drives). if you are *keeping* 4 of
the 35GB drives, be sure to keep the ones with the load source (prevents
having to do a scratch install, we had no choice since we replaced all of
our drives). then do the full system restore and then do the upgrade. you
can skip the v5r4 and go directly to v6.1 *but* be sure that all of your
software (including 3rd party packages) is v6.1 compliant BEFORE you do
the v6.1 upgrade. if you have anything that fails the ANZOBJCVN, fix
those prior to the v6.1 upgrade or you'll have some nasty surprises in
store for you.

in short:
do 2 full system saves!! (we had a issue with one set of our tapes, most
of the objects restored fine but we had to use the 2nd set to pull out the
ones that failed to restore!)
upgrade the hardware
restore the full system save
upgrade to v6.1


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Hi

We're planning to upgrade our AS400, it will be two_steps process.
One - upgrade disk from current 8x35 GB to 4x35 plus 4x171 GB
Second - upgrade current OS V5R3 to V5R4 and then to V5R1

How you reccomend to do this process? Which step should be first?

Regards

Tomek
