More than likely what was clobbered were the IBM libraries that were already
there. IE: QGPL, QUSRSYS, SYSIBM, .....
I have successfully moved partitions in the way you are suggesting but you
need to treat the IBM supplied libraries differently.
With QUSRSYS and QGPL only restore *NEW objects, that way you'll get
everything that has been stuffed in those to libraries without overwriting
the existing IBM objects. If you modified the IBM supplied subsystem
definitions then you will have to manually make those changes. (Hint:
Always make a copy of a subsystem into your own library, modify it and use
that one, not the IBM Supplied subsystems)
Networking and work management changes need to be done manually.
Never restore IBM supplied user profiles. (Q******)
Avoid restoring in to the other IBM supplied libraries, they are mostly
maintained by system level functions anyway.
Above all make sure you start and stay in a restricted state until all the
restores are done, and you run RSTAUT.

Subject: Opinions sought moving LPARs to new CEC
We are moving 8 IBM i 7.1 lpars from a P7 to a new P8 machine. According to
IBM, the process to use is SAVE 21 and restore as described in Appendix D
'Recovering your system to a different system' in the 'Recovering your
System' manual.
My question relates to the fact that the existing lpars are at TR4 and thus
won't run on P8 without at least TR8 applied. I was hoping to avoid having
to apply maintenance to all 8 LPARs before moving them. I tried doing an
install of 7.1 and all maintenance on the new hardware, then just a Restore
23 userdata but that broke things that was messy to clean up afterwards.
Has anyone attempted anything similar and found an easier way?
Thanks
Dana
