|

|
|
<div><p>Find out how planning can help you minimize your downtime and make
|
||
|
|
your upgrade as easy as possible.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Every upgrade is unique. You may be upgrading from one server to another.
|
||
|
|
Or, you may be upgrading your <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> release.
|
||
|
|
If you have hardware features that will not work on the target server, you
|
||
|
|
must plan to replace or convert those features either before or during the
|
||
|
|
upgrade. There are additional considerations for upgrading a partitioned server.
|
||
|
|
It is important to consider that the time you spend planning for your upgrade
|
||
|
|
will help minimize your downtime and make performing the upgrade easier.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can view planning tasks or create a customized planning checklist using
|
||
|
|
the information available in the Planning topic of the <img src="eserver.gif" alt="e(logo)server" /> Information Center. To use this information, you
|
||
|
|
need to know specific information about your order, such as model release,
|
||
|
|
features, and any additional solutions you have ordered. Return to this topic
|
||
|
|
when you have completed the planning tasks in the checklist for your environment.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can also review a number of scenarios that describes a current environment
|
||
|
|
and a target environment, and then explains how to upgrade from that current
|
||
|
|
environment to the target environment.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you have completed the tasks in your custom planning checklist, your
|
||
|
|
next step is to perform the upgrade.</p>

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> IBM<sup>®</sup> offers
|
||
|
|
its customers the option of running both the source and target servers side
|
||
|
|
by side for a period of time. You can use that time to move your data, expansion
|
||
|
|
units, and partitions to the target server. This option is available for purchase
|
||
|
|
as RPQ 847156. For information regarding the terms and conditions of this
