Re: IBM license transfer process from old machine to new machine

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Your BP is supposed to handle that work for you. I've done it and had a bit
of a problem but wasn't IBM's fault.  IF the donor machine is no longer
operational (or you are moving the LUNs from one machine to the other) you
can also say "doesn't have internal disk anymore" or something like that to
justify not applying the reduced keys.
