Re: AS400 Migration Question!

Thank you!

I have a 10G Pipe and have migrated a 16TB across the wire (oracle ERP).
The largest one in AS400 is 1TB. I am not sure if there is some document
somewhere I can ensure we follow from AS400 side!

I am more nervous than AS400 since once hardware is shipped, my neck seems
to be on the line :(

NOT Unix, and cannot be dealt with like Unix.

We at Agile can (and have) done these before, many times. Maybe give us a
try. We spend our money on education for our engineers and such as opposed
to massive marketing..... BTW we speak both Unix (AIX or Linux in POWER's
case) and IBM i.

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.
