<h1 class="topictitle1">Plan the upgrade</h1>
<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
request for price quotation (RPQ), contact your marketing representative.</div>
<p>If you choose, iSeries™ Planning and Migration Services can help
you in planning and upgrading to the latest iSeries models. This service includes
a planning session to discuss customer requirements. For more information,
select <span class="uicontrol">Migration</span> on the Integrated Applications Services
Web site.</p>
