Chapter 1. Overview of RISC-to-RISC Upgrades and Data Migrations The road map lists important considerations and activities that ar e critical to the successful model upgrade of a system.
Contact your local IBM repr esentative or authorized dealer for additional information on permitted upgrades. For servers that do not have an upgrade path, use the data migration section of this book. This would include scenarios such as an AS/400 ® Model 540 to an iSeries 400 Model 270.
Hardware Investment for Upgrading Y ou may choose to upgrade your existing RISC system processor , or replace it with a new iSeries 400 model. In either case, you may keep most of the current system.
For Feature Code #0205, the customer must have pur chased a new server with enough hardwar e and disk unit to hold all of the data from the ″ sour ce ″ model as well as any new data including any requir ed IBM software (OS/400 and so forth).
How Long will the Data Migration T ake? The data migration process includes planning, or dering, shipping, installing and testing the system. The following table shows approximately how long a data migration might take.
OS/400 Release Currently Installed Book T o Use For Upgrade and Software Installation V5R1 V4R5 V4R4 If you have one of these releases installed on your system, your system already runs on the RISC ar chitecture. Use this manual, iSeries 940x RISC-to-RISC Road Map , SA41-5155-05, for the upgrade.

configuration will perform with your current workload. The pr ogram temporary fixes (PTFs) are now available that include capacity planning information for the PowerPC processor models of the system.
Prerequisites Before Placing an Order This section will cover the prer equisites of placing an order to upgrade the system. These include software-r elated items, hardwar e considerations, system configuration considerations, and available services that everyone should know before placing an or der .
v V erify with the original equipment manufacturer vendor that any non-IBM devices are compatible with the model upgrade and the new softwar e release. Note: The customer should request written confirmation of this compatibility from the original equipment manufactur er vendor .
– Related support services – iSeries 400 and AS/400 solution services v Determine the responsibilities for all upgrade activities. These r esponsibilities include: – Outline the model upgrade activities and the person responsible for each activity , as described in T able 4 on page 17.
v Be aware that upgrades to an AS/400 or iSeries server may require wiring changes to a building. For more information, see T echnical Studio at http://www.iseries.ibm.com/tstudio/planning/plngstrt.htm . The customer should work with the marketing representative to schedule a system assurance meeting to review all of the following activities.

v Planning assistance from IBM Global Services or fr om an IBM Business Partner may be very helpful if this is an unfamiliar area to the customer . Upgrading from a 6xx or 7xx to an 8xx Many installed AS/400 Models 6xx and 7xx, except SB1, can be upgraded to an iSeries 400 Model 8xx.
