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.
