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:

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.
