IBM has never supported saving the system at N and restoring the system
onto N+x.

IBM supports upgrading a machine from N to N+1 or N+2.

But upgrading from v5r3 is no longer supported.

You can successfully migrate from v5r3 to 7.1 using a manual unsupported by
IBM process.

I wouldn't attempt to do so. Instead, I'd pay Pete, Larry or one of the
other experts to do it as they've worked out the procedures to do so.

Hello all,
I know how bad this is to do for about a hundred reasons,
but I want to know if it is even possible. I have a satellite office that
wants to perform a full save at 5.3 (don't ask), then restore it to a 7.1
system. I was always under the impression that you could skip on version
but no more. So that they could go from 5.3, skip 5.4, and land on 6.1.
But 7.1 does not jive with my understanding of what is possible.


Thanks, Larry
