*Vendor response*
We can help you migrate if you're uncomfortable with it. Shoot me an email at spitcher@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Otherwise, yes you can migrate without a tape. But you can also drive a car with your knees. It's not advisable unless absolutely necessary. ;)

Subject: AS400 Migration Question!
Team, I am a non-AS400 Team Lead and my experience is in UNIX side. I have a migration coming up where a customer is shipping IBM hardware (914) to our datacenter and a tape drive (TS3100).
I have a S824 with some IBMi core license, but no tape drive.
I got the AS400 Team to install a fresh IBMi (7.x) on an LPAR.
Is there any way I can migrate things without tape? My IBMi engineers are uncomfortable, at the same time on the UNIX side, we never do a bare metal installation like Full system save and restore.
I am very uncomfortable doing this over the weekend without a backout plan, since once the hardware is shipped I am in the hook.
Tape drive is the only option?
Thank you for your quick response.
Sajith P
