RE: AS400 Migration Question!

That is certainly a sizeable pipe! I am curious how the migration will be
done. You don't mention if you have HMCs or not, in this case I hope you
do. Dealing with LAN console over a WAN will be adventurous at best. You
also don't mention if you have internal storage or SAN storage.

All of those things come into play.

Scenario 1: IBM i loaded on both sides, only need to refresh the data,
users, configuration. In this case SAVRSTxxx might work for you. That does
require some set up but it will cut your transmission times down vs. normal
FTP

Scenario 2: IBM i is not loaded on the target side. You'll need a USB to
boot from to load the LIC and OS, not to mention formatting DASD. Once
that's done and you do some considerable configuration on the remote IBM i ,
then you can get back to scenario 1 and use SAVRSTxxx.

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 :(

IBM i is 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.
