Both our boxes are for development. The new 720 will be loaded with v7r1
and v6r1 is being delivered (on DVD) as well. V7r1 will be the primary
partition and we will create virtual partitions as needed, in v7r1 or v6r1.
The 520 has two partitions, one with v5r4, the other with v5r3.
Both boxes will be managed by the new HMC (our old HMC, which just managed
the old 520) is becoming unreliable and can not manage a new model 720
anyway.
All devices are towers and we will have a separate UPS for the 520 (and a
separate PC server) and another for the 720 and HMC.

1. I find that even though your system may come pre-loaded, that pre-load
will not have all the OS options you may want - which then requires add
licensed programs, followed by cume, hiper, group ptfs. You haven't said
whether this is a dev or production or how it will be used, and are you
replacing another box or just adding the new server? (Are you keeping
servers in sync with OS levels, products, ptfs??)
2. I always set up Object Connect between two servers to facilitate moving
objects. This link is an excellent article by Andrew Borts on how to set
this up

Without knowing more, this is a start.

Hi, everyone,
We have a new 720 arriving in a few weeks, to go along with our current
520.
We've got separate UPS for each box and a new HMC that will handle the
520
and 720.
I have to prepare a statement of work for the firm who will be setting
it
up
and configuring it for us. I'm soliciting suggestions so that I don't
forget anything.
Thanks
