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.
