Re: AS400 Migration Question!

[Sajith P <sajithp@xxxxxxxxx>]

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 :(
