viii iSeries 940x RISC-to-RISC Road Map V5R1

Chapter 1. Overview of RISC-to-RISC Upgrades and Data

Migrations

The road map lists important considerations and activities that are critical to the successful model upgrade of a system. Although this road map is not designed to be an all inclusive how-to source for activities relating to upgrading your system, it covers the essentials by guiding you to the proper source. Follow all the steps in the order presented and notify your IBM?? representative for assistance if you run into difficulties.

This road map also covers how to perform a model to model data migration. A data migration can be performed from almost any iSeries 400 model to any model. The source model must be at the same release as the new model to correctly complete the data migration. Data migration involves a new system with a new serial number.

For an overview of the RISC-to-RISC upgrades and data migration, refer to ???Upgrade process flow??? on page 2 and the ???Data migration process flow??? on page 4.

What is in this Road Map?

This road map covers the following RISC-to-RISC upgrades:

Note: The current system may require hardware upgrades or configuration changes to satisfy capacity and compatibility requirements of new software and hardware.

vIBM AS/400 Model 170 to IBM AS/400 Model 170

There are no upgrades into or out of a Model 170. The Data Migration section of this book covers the procedure used to perform a data move from the source system to the new iSeries model.

vIBM ~iSeries Model 270 to IBM ~iSeries Model 270

There are no upgrades into or out of a Model 270. The Data Migration section of this book covers the procedure used to perform a data move from the source system to the new iSeries model.

vIBM AS/400 Models 5xx to IBM AS/400 Models 7xx

vIBM AS/400 Models 6xx to IBM AS/400 Models 7xx

vIBM AS/400 Models 7xx to IBM AS/400 Models 7xx

vIBM AS/400 Models Sxx or IBM AS/400 Models 5xx to IBM ~iSeries

Models 8xx

There are no model upgrades into a Model 8xx from a Model 5xx, 6xx, Sxx, or SBx. However, some hardware may be moved from the 5xx into a migration I expansion unit (I/O and disk unit). The Data Migration section of this book covers the procedure used to perform a data move from the source system to the new iSeries 400 model.

vIBM AS/400 Models 6xx to IBM ~iSeries Models 8xx

vIBM AS/400 Models 7xx to IBM ~iSeries Models 8xx

vIBM ~iSeries Models 8xx to IBM ~iSeries Models 8xx

Contact your local IBM representative or authorized dealer for additional information on permitted upgrades.

For servers that do not have an upgrade path, use the data migration section of this book. This would include scenarios such as an AS/400?? Model 540 to an iSeries 400 Model 270.

Why Upgrade from one AS/400 or iSeries 400 Server to Another iSeries 400 Server?

You might ask yourself why IBM is doing this and why upgrade your server now? Most customers need to increase performance and add capacity.

What is an Upgrade?

In this book, an upgrade is any improvement made to the software or the hardware of an iSeries 400 or AS/400 model that retains the serial number of the iSeries 400 or AS/400 model. This includes moving the compatible hardware, the Licensed Internal Code, operating system, and the licensed programs to a new target system for better performance and reliability.

A data migration is the process of moving only the data from one iSeries 400 or AS/400 model to a new iSeries 400 model, with a new serial number.

Upgrade process flow

The following flow chart describes each step of an MES upgrade and lists the required outputs for each stage.

2 iSeries 940x RISC-to-RISC Road Map V5R1

Hardware Investment for Upgrading

You may choose to upgrade your existing RISC system processor, or replace it with a new iSeries 400 model. In either case, you may keep most of the current system. The process of either an upgrade of your existing system or moving parts from an existing system to a new system, are called miscellaneous equipment specification (MES). MES denotes the process steps of an upgrade. The type of MES depends on several factors:

vYour current processor model

vCosts

vYour system availability requirements

The information in this book will help to determine the right path to an upgrade. This is based on the current model and the goals of the process.

How Long will the Upgrade Take?

The upgrade process includes planning, ordering, shipping, installing and testing the system. The following table shows approximately how long an upgrade might take.

Note: You should plan at least one additional hour of down time to load the operating system for systems not preloaded.

What is a Data Migration?

A data migration is the process of moving the OS/400?? and the data from one model iSeries 400 or AS/400 to a new model iSeries 400 AS/400.

The source system must be at the same release level as the target server. This includes OS/400, all objects, and all licensed programs.

For customers ordering a new RISC iSeries 400 server with V4R4 or V4R5 to replace an existing RISC iSeries 400 or AS/400 model (???source???) and needing to migrate their data from the ???source??? model to the new server, a new feature code Feature Code (F/C) #0205, is now available. This new feature code should be ordered against the new RISC iSeries 400 server. It is valid on orders for all new servers except the Models 150 and SB1.

Chapter 1. Overview of RISC-to-RISC Upgrades and Data Migrations 3

For Feature Code #0205, the customer must have purchased a new server with enough hardware and disk unit to hold all of the data from the ???source??? model as well as any new data including any required IBM software (OS/400 and so forth). Additionally, the RISC-to-RISC Data Migration process requires that the ???source??? model must be at the same version/release of OS/400 and Licensed Program Products (LPPs) as that of the ???new??? server which has been ordered/received.

Customers with Version 3 (V3R7) on their ???source??? model must upgrade to Version 4. It is recommended that they purchase Software Subscription for AS/400. They must then order and upgrade to match the new server (V4R4 or V4R5) in order to proceed with their data migration. V3R7 cannot be directly upgraded to V4R4 or V4R5 therefore, to do this the source system will need to be upgraded to V4R2 or V4R3 before upgrading to V4R4 or V4R5. Customers with Version 4 must obtain new server release of OS/400 licenses of the LPPs, either through new orders or via Software Subscription for AS/400.

A License Addendum will be provided to allow the customer to install and use the copy of OS/400 (received with the newly ordered server) on their source model for up to 70 days. This Addendum authorizes the customers to use the new Version and Release on the source system for the sole purpose of migrating their data. The previous Version and Release must be reinstalled after the migration is completed. The V4R4 or V4R5 licenses of OS/400 and the LPPs will only allow the products to be run on one system at a time. Model 150 customers who are not at the new server release of OS/400 must purchase the BasePak Upgrade (5649-EP5 for V4R4) in addition to any upgrades for installed Optional Products in order to proceed with their data migration. Feature Code #0205 provides for minimal pre loading of the new server, inclusion of a special License Addendum.

Feature Code #0205 differs from Feature Code #0203. Feature Code #0203 SHOULD NOT be ordered for iSeries 400 or AS/400 RISC-to-RISC data migrations as it is designed exclusively for AS/400 CISC-to-RISC data migrations.

Data migration process flow

The following flow chart describes each step of a data migration and lists the required outputs for each stage.

4 iSeries 940x RISC-to-RISC Road Map V5R1

How Long will the Data Migration Take?

The data migration process includes planning, ordering, shipping, installing and testing the system. The following table shows approximately how long a data migration might take.

Note: You should plan at least one additional hour of down time to upgrade the operating system for source systems not at the new server release level.

Books to Use for Software Release Upgrades

The following table lists software release considerations, and which book to use for upgrading the operating system and licensed programs.

Chapter 1. Overview of RISC-to-RISC Upgrades and Data Migrations 5

Chapter 2. Planning Your Order for Upgrading or Data Migration

Review this chapter as you identify a solution and again after a decision is made to verify the accuracy and completeness of the order. After you finish reviewing this chapter, you should have the following:

vFinal software order

vFinal hardware order

vFloor layout

vHigh-speed link (HSL) and system power control network (SPCN) plan

vCable labelling of source system

vSite requirements defined

Refer to the ???Upgrade process flow??? on page 2 or ???Data migration process flow??? on page 4, depending on your situation, to identify where Planning is in the overall process.

Determining Your Upgrade Needs

To help determine the upgrade needs, please consider the following:

vWhat problems does this upgrade need to address?

vWhat additional applications or growth do you expect or plan for in the future?

vWhat new technology do you want as part of the upgrade?

vWhat are the requirements for the following:

???Capacity

???Capability

???Performance

???Availability

vWhat are your expectations for the following:

???Impact on business operations

???Cost

???Performance

vWhat are the financial considerations to keep in mind? For example:

???Government discounts

???Capital planning cycles

???Tax implications

???Budget

Performance Tools for Capacity Planning and Performance Analysis

The licensed program Performance Tools/400 (Program 57xx-PT1) and QSIZE400 on the iSeries 400 configurator can be used for capacity planning and performance analysis.

The BEST**/1 Capacity Planning function of the Performance Tools licensed program provides the capability to analyze how a different AS/400 or iSeries 400

configuration will perform with your current workload. The program temporary fixes (PTFs) are now available that include capacity planning information for the PowerPC processor models of the system. You can use Performance Tools to help you determine the proper configuration of the processor main storage, and disk resources that will meet your performance requirements.

Performance Tools are the best source of information for determining what configuration meets your performance requirements. You should order the PTF that updates your version of Performance Tools with the PowerPC AS processor models.

Note: If you do not have Performance Tools on your system, you should obtain modeling information in another way, such as by using consulting services. Modeling the characteristics of your target configuration helps ensure that the configuration meets your needs.

The latest PTFs for AS/400 BEST/1 Capacity Planner are required. You can order or download these PTFs from the following Web site:

http://as400service.ibm.com

You need to register at this site. Do the following to go to the Internet PTF Facility:

1.Click Fixes, Downloads and Updates

2.Click Internet PTF Downloads (iPTF)

How to Gather Configuration Information

You and your marketing representative use the MRPD (Machine Reported Product Data) and the IBM Configurator for e-business. This process compares your current configuration with your desired configuration and creates the MES order automatically. This simplifies the work that you and the marketing representative have to do and ensures a correct MES order.

Machine Reported Product Data (MRPD)

The hardware and software inventory of a system can be transmitted to IBM and stored in databases there. Once the information has been captured, it can be accessed by the marketing representative to establish a starting point for a system upgrade. The data may also be used for problem determination by hardware and software support centers.

The data can be sent to IBM with these tools:

vManually, with the WRKORDINF command. The WRKORDINF command sends the information once through the Electronic Customer Support line.

vAutomatically, with Service Agent and Management Central. Service Agent can be customized to automatically transmit the data regularly on a monthly basis.

How to Gather Performance Information

Gathering performance data before installing a release gives you a base with which to compare your system???s performance after the installation is complete. Performance data is also useful when determining the correct hardware configuration for your upgrade.

To gather performance information before you install a release, see the Prepare for software installation topic in the Information Center under System planning and installation -> Hardware and software -> Software and licensed programs.

Prerequisites Before Placing an Order

This section will cover the prerequisites of placing an order to upgrade the system. These include software-related items, hardware considerations, system configuration considerations, and available services that everyone should know before placing an order.

You may also need information about logical partitioning. Refer to the web site:

www.as400.ibm.com/LPAR

Version 4 Software Items

See the table on supported releases for software upgrades in the book Software Installation, SC41-5120-05, to find what versions may be upgraded from and to. For example, you must be at V4R4 to upgrade to V4R5 or V5R1.

The ???Preparing Program Temporary Fixes Required Before Installing V4R5M0

Software??? section in the Software Installation book describes how to apply PTFs.

Other Software Related Items

vDetermine whether there are any additional software charges that are associated with the processor group change. Two passes must be run on the iSeries 400 configuration program to determine these changes.

vDetermine whether there are any additional usage changes because of the user-based pricing that is associated with the software products on the system.

vVerify with the software service representative, or the business partner, that any third party software that you use was tested on the software release level ordered.

vContact the software service representative for any software considerations and restrictions that might apply to the model upgrade.

Notes:

1.If you have tape management software, ensure that it uses support that is available on your target system. Do the following:

a.Type DSPOBJD OBJ(QSYS/QUSTAPEX) OBJTYPE(*PGM)

b.If you receive the message Object QUSTAPEX in library QSYS type *PGM not found, you do not have this potential problem with tape management software.

c.If you see the Display Object Description display for the QUSTAPEX program, press F12 (Cancel). Contact the vendor who supplies your tape management software to determine how the vendor will provide equivalent support for your target release.

You may need to order an OS/400 feature called MSE (Media and Storage Extensions).

2.For other software related questions, see Technical Studio and the book Software Installation, SC41-5120-05.

Hardware Considerations

vEnsure that a PC has been properly configured as an Operations Console.

vDetermine the prerequisite engineering changes and program temporary fixes (PTFs) that are needed to upgrade the system.

vDetermine the attached input-output devices and the operating system.

Chapter 2. Planning Your Order for Upgrading or Data Migration 9

vVerify with the original equipment manufacturer vendor that any non-IBM devices are compatible with the model upgrade and the new software release.

Note: The customer should request written confirmation of this compatibility from the original equipment manufacturer vendor.

vThe target system may have different power requirements than the source system. Appropriate planning and preparation by the customer is very important. Determine whether you need additional space and power requirements for any additional system units or system racks. For more information, see Technical Studio at http://www.iseries.ibm.com/tstudio/planning/plngstrt.htm.

vVerify that the target system has a tape drive compatible with the tape format used to save information on the source system.

vEnsure that your marketing representative or IBM business partner is aware of the number of ports on your current twinaxial workstation controllers and the number of ports you will need on your new model. This will help to ensure that the proper model and features get ordered for your upgrade.

vEnsure that you label the cables of your current system before the upgrade. To do this, see the Physical Planning guide in the iSeries Information Center under

Getting Started with iSeries -> Planning ->Physical planning for your new system.

http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter

System Configuration Considerations

vWhen implementing changes to the auxiliary storage pool (ASP) configuration, do it either before or after the upgrade, but never during the upgrade.

vIf you use mirroring, make sure to specify the correct level.

vA current system configuration list should be available for the hardware service representative. The configuration list provides details of your current system configuration.

To print the System Configuration List, do the following:

1.On the OS/400 Main Menu command line, type STRSST. Then, press the Enter key.

2.Type QSECOFR on the System Service Tool Sign on display and press Enter.

3.On the STRSST display, select Start a service tool option. Press the Enter key.

4.On the Start a Service Tool display, select Hardware service manager. Press the Enter key.

5.From the Hardware Service Manager display, press F6 (print configuration).

6.To return to the OS/400 Main Menu, Press F3 (Exit) twice, and then press the Enter key.

7.Keep the printed list - the service representative will need it.

vOrder any optional hardware and software publications by using PUBORDER or the System Library Subscription Service (SLSS).

vDetermine whether you have any education needs.

Model-specific Considerations for Placing an Order

There are unique model-specific considerations when upgrading from one RISC model to another RISC model. Before placing an order, everyone involved in the upgrade process should review these upgrade considerations:

vThe prerequisite for migrating SPD book-type adapter cards is an Model S20, S30, S40, SB1, 620, 640, 650, 720, 730, or 740.

vThere is concurrent disk unit maintenance.

vYou can use the alternate IPL device function for any installation or recovery that requires replacing Licensed Internal Code or other licensed programs. Some models might require an alternate installation device. You can use this device for installing distribution tapes that were created by a central site, or for recovery, using a SAVSYS tape. The Appendix about alternate installation devices of the Software Installation manual describes the alternate installation device function and identifies situations in which older tape devices may require its use. The Appendix also describes how to set up, enable, or disable an alternate installation device. A PDF version of this manual is available from the iSeries Information Center under System planning and installation ->

Hardware and software -> Software and licensed programs -> Install software

Note: In Models S10, S20, 600, 620 and 720, the input-output processor (IOP) to which certain older tape devices connect, require an expansion unit in order to use the devices. The following tape devices are affected: 2440, 3422, 3430, 3480, 9347, 7208-002, and some models of 3490. Other 7208 models and 3490 models Exx, C11, and C22 are supported without an expansion unit. Models 3490 C1A and C2A can be converted to Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) format, which is supported without an expansion unit. If you use older tape devices as alternate installation devices, on Models S10, S20, 600,620 and 720, you need the expansion unit. You need to set up the devices as alternate installation devices.

vModels Sxx and 6xx have a new internal-external SCSI input-output adapter.

Chapter 2. Planning Your Order for Upgrading or Data Migration 11

vBe aware that upgrades to an AS/400 or iSeries server may require wiring changes to a building. For more information, see Technical Studio at http://www.iseries.ibm.com/tstudio/planning/plngstrt.htm.

The customer should work with the marketing representative to schedule a system assurance meeting to review all of the following activities.

Note: This meeting should include the customer, IBM marketing representative, hardware service representative, software service representative, and any non-IBM software service representative.

vReview memory considerations as follows:

???Net-priced main storage feature exchanges are not available when upgrading to another AS/400 PowerPC AS model. In addition, you cannot exchange AS/400 or iSeries 400 memory cards for credit toward the purchase of newer or larger AS/400 or iSeries 400 memory cards. To reduce the necessity for future memory exchanges, the customer should order sufficient memory card sizes for future growth requirements.

???Main storage for AS/400 Models 400??, 500, and 530 is not compatible with each other.

???Main storage for AS/400 Models 40S, 50S, and 53S is not compatible with each other.

???You must plug in main storage cards in equally-sized pairs for the Model 500 Feature Processor 2142. Therefore, it might not be possible to reuse all of the main storage cards from the previous feature processor (2140 or 2141).

???You must plug in main storage cards in equally-sized pairs for the AS/400 Models 510 and 530 and the AS/400 Models 50S and 53S.

vEnsure that you know how to accomplish RAID protection on a migrated internal disk unit. You must have an attachment to a Feature Code for a high availability DASD controller (for example, 6502, 6512, 6532, 2726, or 2740).

Note: In order to avoid additional charges for the IBM service representative???s time, perform ASP management after completion of the hardware upgrade.

vBe prepared to delete the old device description and create a new one, if the type of console changes.

vReview and confirm the hardware and software order.

vSome systems have a mix of unsupported disk unit devices. If the system has such a mix, consider one of the following:

???Purchase additional supported disk unit devices in order to enable the removal of all unsupported devices before the model upgrade.

???Purchase AS/400 Data Migration Services.

Upgrading from a 4xx, 5xx, Sxx, or 6xx to a 7xx

Many installed AS/400 Models 4xx, 5xx, 6xx, and Sxx (except SB1) can be upgraded to an AS/400 Model 7xx.

12 iSeries 940x RISC-to-RISC Road Map V5R1

of these features. It should be used to ensure a valid configuration. The use of performance tools may also help in optimizing a configuration to match a specific set of requirements.

Note: When ordering a model upgrade from a mixed-mode server (S20, S30, S40) to AS/400 7xx servers, an Interactive Specify code must be on the model Sxx inventory record prior to ordering the model upgrade. The configurator will generate a Record Purpose Only (RPO) order to add a zero-priced Interactive Specify code to the installed mixed-mode server prior to the upgrade. This is a required step.

Sxx Interactive Specify codes that the configurator will add:

vModel S20 Interactive Specify codes

???1490

???1492

vModel S30 Interactive Specify codes

???1492

???1493

???1494

vModel S40 Interactive Specify codes

???1495

???1496

Migrating from a 5xx to an 8xx

When migrating SPD expansion units from an AS/400 Model 5xx or from any unsupported path to an iSeries Model 8xx, the order must have a migration expansion unit included.

IBM does not provide a pre-planned or pre-programmed upgrade from a Model 5xx to a Model 8xx. The user who wants to move I/O to 8xx hardware will have to analyze their current configuration and determine what will and will not move and plan the sequence of actions to make it happen. Here are some general considerations:

vSPD I/O expansion unit can not be directly attached to an 8xx. A migration expansion unit with SPD capability is required. If you have a Model 830 or 840 and do not have a migration expansion unit yet, a migration expansion unit (migration expansion unit II), FC #5077 (and perhaps an FC #5057 expansion unit), should be ordered. IBM does not offer an option to order a migration expansion unit (migration expansion unit I) which could attach to an 820.

vSPD IOPs can not be inserted into an 8xx except via SPD slots in a migration expansion unit or in SPD I/O expansion unit attached via a migration expansion unit.

vNot all I/O is supported by V4R5 or V5R1 on an 8xx. There were several older disk units, tape drives, IOPs, and so forth, which were no longer supported as of V4R1.

vThe I/O expansion unit, on a Model 500 or 510 only has a 266 Mbps Optical bus Adapter which is too slow for the migration expansion unit to support. Using the S40388 RPQ, the expansion unit can be converted to a faster I/O expansion unit with a 1063 Mbps Optical Bus Adapter.

vSince V4R5, the only type of PC console that an 8xx system supports is Operations Console.

Chapter 2. Planning Your Order for Upgrading or Data Migration 13

vPlanning assistance from IBM Global Services or from an IBM Business Partner may be very helpful if this is an unfamiliar area to the customer.

Upgrading from a 6xx or 7xx to an 8xx

Many installed AS/400 Models 6xx and 7xx, except SB1, can be upgraded to an iSeries 400 Model 8xx. 8xx models require V4R5 or later versions of OS/400 depending on the hardware function required.

All system units and expansion units have locations for features including processors, main storage, power, expansion units, disk units, tape drives, CD-ROM drive, and IOPs. Some restrictions may apply to certain combinations of features. The configurator is used by your marketing representative or business partner. It contains the rules and performance considerations for placement of these features. It should be used to ensure a valid configuration. The use of performance tools may also help in optimizing a configuration to match a specific set of requirements.

Placing the Upgrade Order

After you have identified what is necessary for the upgrade, continue with the following sections:

Who is Responsible for Ordering the Upgrade?

Table 4. Tasks and Responsibilities for the Upgrade Path (continued)

What to Do When the Hardware Arrives

When the hardware arrives, the customer should notify the hardware service representative and schedule a time for system assurance checkpoint prior to the hardware installation (MES upgrade).

Notes:

1.For customer install systems follow the instructions that came with your server to get set up. If you are replacing an existing system while preserving the original serial number, use the data migration section of this book.

2.The customer must have at least 64MB of memory or arrange to have additional memory installed before the upgrade can proceed. For more information on prerequisites prior to an upgrade, see the manual Software Installation, SC41-5120-05. A PDF version of this manual is available from the iSeries Information Center under System planning and installation ->

Hardware and software -> Software and licensed programs -> Install software.

Preparing the Current System

In this section, you will be asked to save your system several times. IBM strongly recommends that you save your system when instructed to do so. Saving your system allows you to have recovery data in case of disaster.

Approximately two weeks before the hardware service representative arrives, the customer should do the following:

__ 1. Acquire the preventive service planning information (see ???Appendix C. Obtain the Latest Preventive Service Planning Information??? on page 43) from electronic customer support, if available, or from the software service representative.

__ 2. For information pertaining to logical partitions, see the Logical Partitions topic under Systems Management in the iSeries Information Center. There are some specific steps to perform for upgrading a server with primary and secondary partitions installed.

__ 3. For considerations when upgrading to 5769-RD1 OnDemand, see ???Appendix B. Considerations and Solutions??? on page 39 for information on OnDemand.

18 iSeries 940x RISC-to-RISC Road Map V5R1

This is where you load the new operating system.

__ 7. See the manual Software Installation, SC41-5120-05 to install software (for example, Licensed Internal Code, operating system, PTFs, etc.). Install software for the required and desired partitions. A PDF version of this manual is available from the iSeries Information Center under System planning and installation -> Hardware and software -> Software and licensed programs -> Install software.

Important: If you are using logical partitions, update all your partitions to V5R1, if needed.

__ 8. Delete any unused device configuration descriptions (delete unused line, line descriptions, and non-reporting resources).

Important: To delete line and device and descriptions, use the WRKLIND and WRKDEVD commands and verify that all the descriptions listed are in use. If you are sure one is not, you should delete it. If you are not sure, you should leave it.

Table 5. Clear non-reporting resources on each LPAR Partition.

__ 9. Before proceeding with the next step, make that sure during step 7, you obtained or performed the following:

a.OS/400 is current (You determined whether you needed to replace software and replaced Licensed Internal Code, operating system, and licensed programs if needed.)

b.PTFs are current

c.Saved your current system (recommended as recovery data in case of disaster)

__ 10. If you do not have a current system backup that allows you to recover in case of disaster, save the entire system on each partition. Make sure that you save the system and data on a tape unit that is compatible with the tape unit on the target system. To save the system, use option 21 on the Save menu. For more information about saving the entire system using option 21, refer to any of the following:

If you want a different configuration after the upgrade, use this printout to plan for the desired configuration. Before you power down the system to perform the hardware upgrade, you must logically remove any disk unit that you will move during the upgrade.

__ 6. Use the Retrieve Configuration Source (RTVCFGSRC) command for the existing line, controller, and device descriptions. The configuration source is needed if any configuration objects must be manually changed or re-created. The RTVCFGSRC command builds a source file member for specified configuration objects. This source file can be converted later to a control language program. Keep updated records of all hardware and configuration objects. Before and after every upgrade, you can generate a report of your hardware and configuration objects. (From each partition) type the following commands:

DSPHDWRSC TYPE(*LWS) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

DSPHDWRSC TYPE(*STG) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

DSPHDWRSC TYPE(*CMN) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

DSPHDWRSC TYPE(*PRC) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

2.Ensure that you have installed the latest V5R1 cumulative PTF package and specific software release PTFs on all partitions. Refer to step 7 on page 19.

3.Verify that you have the latest full system backup (Save option 21) tapes on hand and labeled. Refer to step 4 on page 21.

4.Verify the availability of a compatible alternate IPL device (CD-ROM or tape unit attached to the system bus 1). If the system uses an alternate installation device (CD-ROM, DVD, or tape unit attached to a bus other than the system bus 1) for installation or restore operations, ensure the availability of the location information for that device.

Note: If a tape unit is attached to a bus other than the system bus 1, record the following information about the tape unit location:

vType and model

vSystem bus

vSystem card

This information is necessary to set up and enable the tape unit as an alternate installation device. For more information about alternate installation devices, go to the Software Installation manual. A PDF version of this manual is available from the iSeries Information Center under

2.Perform the model upgrade.

3.Prepare any parts that need to be sent to IBM.

4.Perform any contracted relocation or rearrangement services prior to returning the system to the customer for their use.

5.Perform normal cleanup and housekeeping tasks. This includes proper reporting of time and activities, including any fee-based services delivered.

6.Provide the customer with critical resource documentation.

Managing your new system I/O resources

After the hardware is installed, the customer should do the following:

24 iSeries 940x RISC-to-RISC Road Map V5R1

In the next few steps the customer will be required to use the information from the service representative to finish the resource management on the new server. The goal of these steps is to ensure the server is set up and running to the customer???s needs. You will be asked to save your system. IBM strongly recommends that you save your system when instructed to do so. Saving your system allows you to have recovery data in case of disaster.

__ 1. Ensure that you received the source system???s label locations printout from the hardware service representative (refer to step 7 on page 22). This is used to get the hardware resources correctly assigned to resource names.

__ 2. Continue the initial program load (IPL) by selecting option 1 from the IPL or Install the System screen.

Notes:

a.You might see a disk unit format optimize warning message. IBM suggests that you handle this disk optimization and protection later. See step 8 on page 30.

b.If the Add All Disk Units to the System ASP screen appears, IBM recommends that you wait and add the disk units at step 3 on page 29.

Note:

Changing the QIPLTYPE system value may result in receiving the system reference code (SRC) A900 2000.

Chapter 3. Procedure for an Upgrade (RISC-to-RISC) 25

__ 6. Vary off all devices, except the display station in use as the console. Use the WRKCFGSTS *DEV command to display a list of devices. Note that the console is assigned to the QCTL controller.

__ 7. Use the WRKCFGSTS *CTL *ALL command to ensure that all controllers are varied off.

__ 8. Use the label location worksheet to assist you with the upgrade process. On it, the service representative should have indicated controllers (and devices) that are in different locations than they were on your source system. You must correct resource names to be able to access the devices on your system.

__ 9. Run the WRKHDWPRD command to determine whether devices are in different locations than they were on the source system.

a.On the command line, type WRKHDWPRD and press the Enter key.

b.On the Work with hardware products display, select the Change description label locations option. Press the Enter key.

c.Read the information on the Using Change Label Locations display and press the Enter key.

d.Compare the label information on the display with the source system???s label locations. The source system???s label locations should have been written down before the hardware upgrade took place (see step 7 on page 22). Label information matches if the Label column on the display matches what the source system had. Label information does not match if any one of the following is true:

vThe display has label information, but the source system did not have label information in that location.

vThe source system label information does not match the information found in the Label column on the display.

v*NONE appears in the Label column on the display, and there is label information for the source system.

Note: When *NONE appears in the Label column for a controller or device that was added or upgraded, select option 2. Then select the correct label description from the list provided. If any problems arise from this, call your service provider.

v*INCORRECT or *INVALID appears in the Label column.

This means that the type and model number of the hardware resource information does not match the type and model of the configuration description that is currently associated with that resource. The system cannot vary on the configuration description.

v*INCORRECT ??? where the physical location is also ???**???.

This identifies a controller or device description that no longer has a valid resource on the system.

e.Do you have any locations that do not match the label information on the system?

Note: It is normal for the resource names to change during the upgrade process. Do not use the resource name information from other displays to match the labels.

YES - Go to step 9f on page 27.

26 iSeries 940x RISC-to-RISC Road Map V5R1

NO - The system label information is the same as the (physical) label. Go to step 10.

f.On the Change Description Label Locations display, type 2 in the Opt column for each location that requires a label change. Press the Enter key.

Note: You may make more than one selection at a time, but if More...

appears on the bottom of the display, do not press the Enter key. Page forward to select the remaining labels.

g.The Change Description Label display appears.

A list of possible label names is shown. To select the label name (on the display) that matches the label that was on the source system, perform the following:

v Type 1 in the Opt column for each location that you want to change.

vPress the Enter key.

Note: If you cannot find the label (on the display) that matches the label on the source system, contact your hardware service representative.

h.If you chose to change more than one item, the Change Description Label display appears for the next label. A message at the bottom of the display indicates whether the previous change was successful.

i.For all the labels that need a change, repeat the previous three steps.

j.After you change the last label, the Change Description Label Locations display appears with the updated information. A message at the bottom of the display indicates whether the last change was successful. If More... appears on the bottom of the display, scroll forward to view more information.

k.Press the F17 key on the Change Description Label display to request a printout of the new information for your records.

Note: The printout will be in the default output queue for your workstation. You can print it later when you vary on your printer devices and start printer writers.

l.Verify that the labels on the printout match the labels in the Label column on your source system. If you find any errors, go back to step 9f and repeat the steps.

Attention: Do not exchange cards for problem analysis purposes. Card and device serial numbers are tied to the system configuration.

__ 10. The Change Description Label Locations display appears. Determine whether the new target system has more storage or communications lines than the source had. If that is the case, check the work management objects. To do this, see the Work management topic under Systems Management in the Information Center.

Chapter 3. Procedure for an Upgrade (RISC-to-RISC) 27

Performing a new system backup

__ 1. Perform a normal IPL:

vFor Restart after power down, *YES

vFor IPL Source,

*PANEL

SRC A900 2000 should not appear on the control panel when the IPL completes. If SRC A900 2000 does appear and you are using Operations Console, you must perform an IPL in Manual mode (M) on the system to arrive at the Dedicated Service Tools (DST). Then, in DST, set the console mode system value to Operations Console, and continue the IPL to sign on.

Chapter 4. Procedure for a Data Migration (RISC-to-RISC)

This chapter guides you through a data migration (RISC to RISC) that moves data from one iSeries model server to another. It requires two servers with unique serial numbers. To migrate data from one iSeries 400 server to an upgraded model that retains the original serial number, refer to ???Chapter 3. Procedure for an Upgrade (RISC-to-RISC)??? on page 17.

Prerequisites for data migration (RISC to RISC)

This procedure assumes that:

vThe target system is set up and is running, with only SLIC and the base OS installed (FC 0205) and that the DASD has been configured for ASP 1. For help with DASD configuration, you may wish to investigate the IBM billable service DASD management.

vYou have completed a clean-up of the source system, and obtained current performance benchmarks.

Note: Failure to obtain performance benchmarks may make it extremely difficult to provide support for your iSeries system after moving to the new model. IBM strongly recommends that you maintain performance benchmarks of your system before and after a migration.

vCompleted a recovery backup of your source system, at the previous release level.

Preparing the source system for the migration

This procedure assumes that you have:

v_ Loaded the new OS/400 version on your source system, and brought all existing objects and licensed programs to the new release level. Complete the procedure ???Preparing the Current System??? on page 18 through step 14.

v_ Set the system values, and print the current configuration.

v_ Completed a recovery backup of the source system at the new release level, and printed your latest system configuration information, including:

???Latest system configuration list from hardware service manager

???Latest device descriptions printout of the source system

???Latest controller descriptions printout of the source system

???Latest PTF level printout from the source system

v_ Run your source system at the new release level for two weeks, and completed a recovery backup. (Recommended)

v_ Have set up your new system, and/or created the new partition, including Operations Console setup (if selected in system order).

v_ Done your disk unit management (for example, manage disk protection and disk configuration). To do this, you can use the Work with Disk Units option from

the Dedicated Service Tools display. For more information, see the manual Backup and Recovery, SC41-5304-05. A PDF version of this manual is available from the Information Center under Systems Management -> Backup, recovery, and availability -> Manuals and Redbooks.

v _ Verified the availability of a compatible alternate IPL device (tape unit attached to the system bus 1). If the system uses an alternate installation device for install or restore operations, ensure the availability of the location information for that device.

IBM HTTP Server for AS/400

When migrating your AS/400 system from V3R7 to V4R2, some existing common gateway interface, CGI programs may not function correctly. The CGI interface in V4R2 was changed to improve performance.

What was the change?

The AS/400 runtime environment now allows the IBM HTTP Server for AS/400 to put into effect byte streams for CGI standard in and standard out.

Why was the change made?

Customer requirements caused this change to remove the line length limitations on, (standard in and standard out).

What problems were detected or flagged?

1.Programs that call QtmhRdStdin multiple times to read the standard in data are incorrect, and this does not work.

2.All programs that read from (standard in), (QtmhRdSdtin) need to check the Content-Length environment variable to determine the number of bytes to read. Programs that do not use the Content-Length environment variable and read more than the Content-Length will not work.

Why was the change made?

Customer requirements to remove the 250 byte limit on standard in and standard out, motivated the change.

When was the change made?

The change is available via the following PTFs:

vV4R1 - 5769SS1 SF46810

v5769TC1 SF47332

vV4R2 - 5769TC1 SF46558

What should the customer do?

The customer should use the Web Programming Guide to ensure that the programs meet standard guidelines.

How to Move Files That Have Been Saved with Storage Free Specified

If you have saved database files and specified STG(*FREE), you must take special steps to transfer the descriptive information about those files to your RISC target system. (All customers must do this, whether or not you have the Media and Storage Extensions product installed.) When you save a database file and specify STG(*FREE), the system saves the contents of the file. The system then deletes the contents from the system copy of the file, so that the contents exist only on the save media. The file description information, including a list of members, remains on the system as a type of archival record. To create usable object descriptions for your RISC target system, use the procedures that follow. If your source system does not have adequate auxiliary storage to restore the contents of archival files, you might need to make arrangements to use another system to restore your files and save them again. Make sure that the system has a tape unit that is compatible with the tape unit that you will have on your upgraded system.

How to Move Freed Database Files without New Members

Use the procedure below only if both of the following conditions are true:

1.The database file on the source system was previously saved with STG(*FREE).

2.No new members were added to the file after it was saved on the source system.

If both conditions were true, move freed database files without new members as follows:

1.For a physical file, use the

RSTOBJ command or the

Appendix B. Considerations and Solutions 41

RSTLIB

command to restore the file. For a logical file, use the

RSTOBJ

command or the

RSTLIB

command to restore the based-on physical files.

2.If you need to save the files separately to make space available on your system, use the

SAVOBJ or SAVLIB

command. Do not specify STG(*FREE). Make sure that you mark the save tapes. You can then delete the files or save them again on different tapes with STG(*FREE).

3.After you have restored the files to your target system, you can save them again with STG(*FREE). The object description remains on your upgraded system as an archival record.

If you have a file that has some members with contents and other members that were saved with STG(*FREE), you must create a version of the file that has a complete set of members with contents. You do this by restoring the members that were saved with STG(*FREE). When the complete database file is on the system, perform again the specific instructions for saving your system. These instructions are outlined in the upgrade or migration procedure that sent you here.
