v Determine the responsibilities for all upgrade activities. These responsibilities include:

–Outline the model upgrade activities and the person responsible for each activity, as described in Table 4 on page 17.

–Develop an installation plan, a schedule of activities, and a checklist. See the SA Advisor in the Expert menu Application on HONE.

Your IBM Representative may visit the Solutions Assurance Web site: http://w3.ibm.com/support/assure

Your IBM representative can use marketing tools to get more information:

-Only your IBM representative can access MKTTOOLS at this Web site: http://w3-1.ibm.com/sales/systems/ibmsm.nsf

-Or on a Virtual Machine (VM) system, the representative types:

TOOLS SENDTO LEXVMIC1 TOOLS SAPRDOC GET SA95008 SCRIPT * TOOLS SENDTO LEXVMIC1 TOOLS SAPRDOC GET SA95008 LIST3820 *

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-typeadapter 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.
