Jack,

To get the most complete cut over you would follow the steps you suggest, upgrade to V6 (or better yet V7 to get the most out of your new hardware), then save/restore onto the new box. It will test your recovery knowledge at the very least.

If you want to re-implement your applications on your new box, the load up V7 with all the licensed programs, apply PTFs and then migrate the applications. The problem with this approach is if there are user objects in QGPL and QUSRSYS that need to be brought over. You'll have to identify those objects and restore them manually. RSTOBJ with the *NEW has worked for me in the past.

The other problem I have run into with this method is if logical files are located in a different library that gets restored prior to the physicals. I've seen as many as five restore passes needed to get all the dependent files down. That may pop up with the unload reload as well, but your odds are better there. To get past this I'll restore the libraries with only the physical files, then come back and do the logical files and indexes. Again very intensive.

I would prefer the first method simply because it's the safest.

Power6 on 5.4.5 to Power7 from factory FC0205.


Believe the easy thing to do would be upgrade power6 box to 6.1 or 7.1 then
21 save, 01d on the new box.

What if I want to port over only the data portion of the power6 box from
5.4.5 with a prebuilt power7 box, looking for steps involved in this. I am
seeing varying results in my testing.
