Chapter 4. Procedure for a Data Migration (RISC-to-RISC)

This chapter guides you through a data migration (RISC to RISC) that moves data

from one iSeries model server to another.It requires two servers with unique serial

numbers. Tomigrate data from one iSeries 400 server to an upgraded model that

retains the original serial number,refer to “Chapter 3. Procedure for an Upgrade

(RISC-to-RISC)”on page 17.

This procedure assumes that:

vThe target system is set up and is running, with only SLIC and the base OS

installed (FC 0205) and that the DASD has been configured for ASP 1. For help

with DASD configuration, you may wish to investigate the IBM billable service

DASD management.

vYouhave completed a clean-up of the source system, and obtained current

performance benchmarks.

Note: Failure to obtain performance benchmarks may make it extremely difficult

to provide support for your iSeries system after moving to the new

model. IBM strongly recommends that you maintain performance

benchmarks of your system before and after a migration.

vCompleted a recovery backup of your source system, at the previous release

level.

This procedure assumes that you have:

v_ Loaded the new OS/400 version on your source system, and brought all

existing objects and licensed programs to the new release level. Complete the

procedure “Preparing the Current System”on page18 through step 14.

v_ Set the system values, and print the current configuration.

v_ Completed a recovery backup of the source system at the new release level,

and printed your latest system configuration information, including:

–Latest system configuration list from hardware service manager

–Latest device descriptions printout of the source system

–Latest controller descriptions printout of the source system

–Latest PTF level printout from the source system

v_ Run your source system at the new release level for two weeks, and

completed a recovery backup. (Recommended)

v_ Have set up your new system, and/or created the new partition, including

Operations Console setup (if selected in system order).

v_ Done your disk unit management (for example, manage disk protection and

disk configuration). Todo this, you can use the Work with Disk Units option from

the Dedicated Service Tools display. For moreinformation, see the manual

Backup and Recovery, SC41-5304-05. APDF version of this manual is available

from the Information Center under Systems Management -> Backup, recovery,

and availability -> Manuals and Redbooks.
