Re: VIOS: Upgrading from 2.2.6.32 to 3.1.1.xx

Rob, I don't have any VIOS that I support currently. Does VIOS have the
release dates and EOS for any of it's current versions and if it does, how
might that impact what version your on from an IBM support perspective.

Thank you. I'll study those.

I may have put off studying this past a desired deadline. I may postpone
the VIOS upgrades...

I am reading the website at
https://eur05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fsupport%2Fpages%2Fvios-31-viosupgrade-process&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7Cb86e3bc169884bfc4d4408d859b73086%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637357990608263906&amp;sdata=PeQf%2BmT5CLT6JNsMU3ddUA5aoZIARrZ69VqcKQny8OA%3D&amp;reserved=0
This is the first vios 2 to 3 upgrade I'll be doing.

We use internal disks in the system unit for VIOS.
Lpar vios1 has 1 disk mirrored to another. Lpar vios2 has 1 disk mirrored
to another.
All other partitions use internal disk in expansion units. One IBM i lpar
is the host for all that other disk.
Not anything too fancy here. No SAN, Live Partition Mobility, Shared
Storage Pool clusters, High Availability (outside of IBM i replication
software Quick-EDD), etc.

I'd like to get to the highest level currently supported but realize I may
have to step stone a bit.

My instructions from other times refer to updateios but from What I've
read that's not for 2.x.x.x to 3.x.x.x type upgrades. This leaves me with
the viosupgrade command.
Someone have some step by step instructions for this?
