RE: AS400 Migration Question!

Um, it's a bit more complicated than that since there's the whole multimember, access paths, program objects, configuration objects.......

FTP is the hardest and most error prone method to pull this off. The best part with this method will be the wonderful learning experiences those that try it will have. They won't be positive ones, but learning experiences nonetheless.....

use multiple FTPs
over OS/400 comand line mkdir unix
over UNIX FTP:
user
password
cd / <--important
bin <-- or ascii? you need to probe cd unix mput *.* <-or whatever


for the moment I recommend that you need to learn fast PASE IBM® Portable Application Solutions Environment for i (PASE for i) and have it installed Option 33 (5770-SS1 - Portable Application Solutions
Environment) whoever installs the AS400 system asks you to install it, GOOD LUCK!

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.
