Client checklist

Depending on your customer’s choice, a mix of migration methods and installation from scratch will be done. Espesically for a base installation, Table B-1should be used to examine the current system settings and to ensure that all important environment parameters are set to their proper values. Also for the first migration installation, the checklist could be used to check the system environment parameter before and after the migration process.
