a nonpartitioned server.</p>

<p>The upgrade process includes planning, ordering, preparing for, and performing
|
||
|
|
the upgrade. Your upgrade process is unique, and although you will perform
|
||
|
|
each of these major tasks, how you perform them, in what order you perform
|
||
|
|
them, and what they involve depends on your current environment and the environment
|

that you want to achieve. Each of these major tasks is described here in more

detail.</p>

<td valign="top"><strong>Plan your upgrade</strong> <p>The first task in every upgrade process
|

|

is planning for your upgrade and ordering what you need. Planning is very
|
||
|
|
important, and the time you invest in planning will make your upgrade as easy
|
||
|
|
as it can be. Completing this task may require up to six weeks, depending
|
||
|
|
on the complexity of your environment.</p>

hardware features that will not work in your target environment. You may need

to replace or eliminate hardware features before you install <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> V5R4,

before you upgrade to the new model, or both. For example, your SPD-attached

hardware will not work on Models 810, 825, 870, or 890. This hardware must
|
||
|

be replaced and new hardware features added as necessary before you upgrade

the server. Replacing hardware features can typically be accomplished in a

weekend.</p>

work with the Model 810, 825, 870, or 890 can be converted to work with the

before performing the expansion unit conversion is essential. Although this

|
|
expansion unit conversion can usually be accomplished in a weekend, converting

more than one expansion unit can increase the complexity of the conversion
|

and therefore the time needed to complete this task.</p>

process is to upgrade the server. The actual upgrade is performed by a service

representative, but preparing for the upgrade and returning the server to

production are your responsibility. Upgrading from one server to another server
|

requires up to three days.</p>

<p>Your unique upgrade may include some or all of the stages of a complete

upgrade process. To accurately determine which upgrade activities you need
|

|
|
to perform, be sure to use the information in the upgrade planning topic.
|

Once your planning is complete, you can use the interview in the Upgrades

topic to build an upgrade task list customized to your unique environment.

The interview is only available in the online version of the Information Center.</p>
