This road map also covers how to perform a model to model data migration. A
data migration can be performed from almost any model AS/400
AS/400. The source model must be at the same release as the new model AS/400
to correctly complete the data migration.
What Is In this Road Map
This road map covers the following upgrades:
Notes:
1. The source system might need a hardware upgrade before the customer starts
Program Temporary Fixes (PTFs) and prior to installing V4R4 or V4R5
software. This is to get the source system compatible with the target system.
7xx models require V4R3 or later and 8xx models require V4R5.
2. SSP is not supported in V4R5.
v Model 170 to Model 170
There are no upgrades into or out of a model 170. The Data Migration section of
this book covers the procedure used to perform a data move from the source
system to the new model AS/400.
v Model 270 to Model 270
There are no upgrades into or out of a model 270. The Data Migration section of
this book covers the procedure used to perform a data move from the source
system to the new model AS/400.
v Models 5xx to Models 7xx
v Models 6xx to Models 7xx
v Models 7xx to Models 7xx
v Models Sxx or 5xx to Models 8xx
There are no model upgrades into a model 8xx from a model 5xx, SB1, SB2, or
SB3. However, some hardware may be moved from the 5xx into a migration I

This information does not specifically cover hardware feature upgrades for the
following features:
v Feature conversion 5065 to 5074
v Feature conversion 5066 to 5079
v Feature conversion 5075 to 5074
If you are performing one of these hardware feature upgrades in a partitioned
environment, see the Logical Partitioning web site at the following address:
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/lpar/
Why Upgrade from One AS/400 System to Another?
You might ask yourself why IBM is doing this and why upgrade your system
now? Most customers need to increase performance and add capacity.
What is An Upgrade?
In this book, an upgrade is any improvement made to the software or the
hardware of an AS/400 model that retains the serial number of the AS/400 model.
This includes moving the compatible hardware, the Licensed Internal Code,
operating system, and the licensed programs to a new target system for better
performance and reliability.
A data migration is the process of moving only the data from one model AS/400
to a new model AS/400.
Hardware Investment for Upgrading
You may choose to upgrade your existing AS/400 RISC system processor, or
replace it with a new, AS/400 model. In either case, you may keep most of the
current system. The process of either an upgrade of your existing system or
moving parts from an existing system to a new system, are called miscellaneous
equipment specification (MES). A MES is the process steps of an upgrade. The
type of MES depends on several factors:
v Your current processor model
v Costs
v Your system availability requirements
The information in this book will help to determine the right path to an upgrade.
This is based on the current model and the goals of the process.

How Long Will the Upgrade Take?
The upgrade process includes planning, ordering, shipping, installing and testing
the system. The following table shows approximately how long an upgrade might
take.
Note: You should plan at least one additional hour of down time to load the
operating system for systems not preloaded.

What is A Data Migration?
A data migration is the process of moving the OS/400®and the data from one
model AS/400 to a new model AS/400.
The source system must be at the same release level as the target server. This
includes OS/400, all objects, and all licensed programs.
For customers ordering a new RISC AS/400 server with V4R4 or V4R5 to replace
an existing RISC AS/400 model (″source″) and needing to migrate their data from
the ″source″ model to the new server, a new feature code Feature Code (F/C)
#0205, is now available. This new feature code should be ordered against the new
RISC AS/400 server. It is valid on orders for all new servers except the Models 150
and SB1.
For Feature Code #0205, the customer must have purchased a new server with
enough hardware and disk unit to hold all of the data from the ″source″ model as
well as any new data including any required IBM software (OS/400 and so forth).
Additionally, the RISC-to-RISC Data Migration process requires that the ″source″
model must be at the same version/release of OS/400 and Licensed Program
Products (LPPs) as that of the ″new″ server which has been ordered/received.
Customers with Version 3 (V3R7) on their ″source″ model must upgrade to Version
4. It is recommended that they purchase Software Subscription for AS/400. They
must then order and upgrade to match the new server (V4R4 or V4R5) in order to
proceed with their data migration. V3R7 cannot be directly upgraded to V4R4 or
V4R5 therefore, to do this the source system will need to be upgraded to V4R2 or
V4R3 before upgrading to V4R4 or V4R5. Customers with Version 4 must obtain
new server release of OS/400 licenses of the LPPs, either through new orders or
via Software Subscription for AS/400.
Chapter 1. Overview of RISC-to-RISC Upgrades and Data Migrations 3
A License Addendum will be provided to allow the customer to install and use the
copy of OS/400 (received with the newly ordered server) on their source model for
up to 70 days. This Addendum authorizes the customers to use the new Version
and Release on the source system for the sole purpose of migrating their data. The
previous Version and Release must be reinstalled after the migration is completed.
The V4R4 or V4R5 licenses of OS/400 and the LPPs will only allow the products to
be run on one system at a time. Model 150 customers who are not at the new
server release of OS/400 must purchase the BasePak Upgrade (5649-EP5 for V4R4)
in addition to any upgrades for installed Optional Products in order to proceed
with their data migration. Feature Code #0205 provides for minimal pre loading of
the new server, inclusion of a special License Addendum, and an insert which

Road Map):
http://www.as400.ibm.com/tstudio/tech_ref/rrmap/
This Road Map provides the steps on how to do the RISC-to-RISC data migration.
For subsequent releases of OS/400, the Road Map will be included with the
shipment of the new server. Feature Code #0205 differs from Feature Code #0203.
Feature Code #0203 SHOULD NOT be ordered for AS/400 RISC-to-RISC data
migrations as it is designed exclusively for AS/400 CISC-to-RISC data migrations.
How Long Will the Data Migration Take?
The data migration process includes planning, ordering, shipping, installing and
testing the system. The following table shows approximately how long a data
migration might take.
Note: You should plan at least one additional hour of down time to upgrade the
operating system for source systems not at the new server release level.

© Copyright IBM Corp. 1997, 2000 7
The Performance Capabilities Reference provides information on iSeries
performance, capacity planning, and tips to obtain best performance. You can view
or print the PDF version of this reference at the following Web site:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/perfmgmt/resource.htm
The licensed program Performance Tools/400 (Program 57xx-PT1) and QSIZE400
on the AS/400 configurator can be used for capacity planning and performance
analysis.
The BEST**/1 Capacity Planning function of the Performance Tools licensed
program provides the capability to analyze how a different AS/400 configuration
will perform with your current work load. The program temporary fixes (PTFs) are
now available that include capacity planning information for the PowerPC
processor models of the system. You can use Performance Tools to help you
determine the proper configuration of the processor main storage, and disk
resources that will meet your performance requirements.
Performance Tools are the best source of information for determining what
configuration meets your performance requirements. You should order the PTF
that updates your version of Performance Tools with the PowerPC AS processor
models.
Note: If you do not have Performance Tools on your system, you should obtain
modeling information in another way, such as by using consulting services.
Modeling the characteristics of your target configuration helps ensure that
the configuration meets your needs.
The latest PTFs for AS/400 BEST/1 Capacity Planner are required. You can order
or download these PTFs from the following Web site:
http://as400service.ibm.com
You need to register at this site. Do the following to go to the AS/400 Internet PTF
Facility:
1. Click Fixes, Downloads and Updates
2. Click Internet PTF Downloads (iPTF)
How to Gather Configuration Information
You and your marketing representative use the Enhanced Upgrade Order Process
(EUOP) and the AS/400 configuration program (CPAS400 and e.Config). This
process compares your current configuration with your desired configuration and
creates the MES order automatically. This simplifies the work that you and the
marketing representative have to do and ensures a correct MES order. See
Appendix B, “Enhanced Upgrade Order Process (EUOP)” on page 43 for more
information on how to use the Enhanced Upgrade Order Process.
How to Gather Performance Information
Gathering performance data before installing a release gives you a base with which
to compare your system’s performance after the installation is complete.
Performance data is also useful when determining the correct hardware
configuration for your upgrade.
You can gather the information by using the Start Performance Monitor
(STRPFRMON) command or the Work with Performance Collection
(WRKPFRCOL) command.
If you use the STRPFRMON command or WRKPFRCOL command, you should
collect two sets of data. The first set of performance data should be an overview
for a 24-hour period. Collect two 24-hour periods on days when the system load is
normal to heavy.
See the Software Installation book for more information on performance
monitoring.
Note: If you plan to install the Version 4 licensed program 5769-PM1, you must
convert the data collected on your current pre-Version 4 system before you
can analyze it with the 5769-PM1 licensed program.

Prerequisites Before Placing an Order
This section will cover the prerequisites of placing an order to upgrade the system.
These include software-related items, hardware considerations, system
configuration considerations, and available services that everyone should know
before placing an order.
Version 4 Software Items
See the table on supported releases for software upgrades in the book Software
Installation, SC41-5120-04, to find what versions may be upgraded from and to. For
example, you must be at V4R1 to upgrade to V4R4 and at V4R2 to upgrade to
V4R5.
The ″Preparation Program Temporary Fixes Required Before Installing V4R5M0
Software″ section in the Software Installation book describes how to apply PTFs.
Other Software Related Items
v Determine whether there are any additional software charges that are associated
with the processor group change. Two passes must be run on the AS/400
configuration program to determine these changes.
v Determine whether there are any additional usage changes because of the
user-based pricing that is associated with the software products on the system.
v Verify with the software service representative, or the business partner, that any
third party software that you use was tested on the software release level
ordered.
v Contact the software service representative for any software considerations and
restrictions that might apply to the model upgrade.
Notes:
1. If you have tape management software, ensure that it uses support that is
available on your target system. Do the following:
a. Type DSPOBJD OBJ(QSYS/QUSTAPEX) OBJTYPE(*PGM)
b. If you receive the message Object QUSTAPEX in library QSYS type *PGM
not found, you do not have this potential problem with tape management
software.
c. If you see the Display Object Description display for the QUSTAPEX
program, press F12 (Cancel). Contact the vendor who supplies your tape
management software to determine how the vendor will provide equivalent
support for your target release.
You may need to order an OS/400 feature called MSE (Media and Storage
Extensions).
2. For other software related questions, see AS/400 Technical Studio and the book
Software Installation, SC41-5120-04.

Chapter 2. Planning Your Order for Upgrading or Data Migration 9
Hardware Considerations
v Determine the prerequisite engineering changes and program temporary fixes
(PTFs) that are needed to upgrade the system.
v Determine the attached input-output devices, and the operating system.
v Verify with the original equipment manufacturer vendor that any non-IBM
devices are compatible with the model upgrade and the new software release.
Note: The customer should request written confirmation of this compatibility
from the original equipment manufacturer vendor.
v The target system may have different power requirements than the source
system. Appropriate planning and preparation by the customer is very
important. Determine whether you need additional space and power
requirements for any additional system units or system racks. For more
information, see the AS/400 Technical Studio.
v Verify that the target system has a tape drive compatible with the tape format
used to save information on the source system.
v Ensure that your marketing representative or IBM business partner is aware of
the number of ports on your current twin-ax workstation controllers and the
number of ports you will need on your new model. This will help to ensure that
the proper model and features get ordered for your upgrade.
Installing from an Alternate Installation Device
Version 4 releases include support for alternate installation devices on buses other
than bus 1 (the system bus). If you use an alternate installation device, you need to
ensure that the device is set up and enabled. You also need to have the CD-ROM
for Licensed Internal Code as well as your tape media. The Appendix of the
Software Installation book describes the alternate installation device function and
identifies situations in which older tape devices may require its use. The appendix
also describes how to set up, enable, or disable an alternate installation device.
Note:
alternate IPL device
This may be a CD-ROM unit or tape unit, attached to the system
bus 1 (the system bus)
alternate installation device
Tape unit attached to a bus other than the system bus 1
Performing the IPL using the alternate installation method is really just a
special kind of IPL type D. Such an installation involves two pieces of
media: the alternate IPL load source (code), usually on a CD-ROM, and the
alternate installation media (currently must be a tape). The alternate IPL
load source is used to start the IPL type D. The alternate installation media
contains the Licensed Internal Code that will be installed on the system. The
alternate IPL load source will always be read through a device on bus 1 of
the system. The alternate installation media is placed in a device on any bus,
except bus 1.
System Configuration Considerations
v Change the auxiliary storage pool (ASP) configuration either before or after the
upgrade, but never during the upgrade.
v If you use mirroring, make sure to specify the correct level.
10 AS400e 940x RISC-to-RISC Road Map V4R5
v A current system configuration list should be available for the hardware service
representative. The configuration list provides details of your current system
configuration.
To print the System Configuration List, do the following:
1. On the AS/400 Main menu command line, type STRSST. Then, press the Enter
key.
2. On the STRSST display, select Start a service tool option. Press the Enter key.
3. On the Start a Service Tool display, select Hardware service manager. Press
the Enter key.
4. From the Hardware Service Manager display, press F6 (print configuration).
5. To return to the AS/400 Main menu, Press F3 (Exit) twice, and then press the
Enter key.
6. Keep the printed list - the service representative will need it.
Services and Other Assistance
v Determine whether you need on-site support or services. Appendix A, “AS/400
Global Services” on page 39, has information about the following:
– IBM Global Services
– AS/400 Data Migration Services
– V4R5 Planning and Migration Services
– LPAR Planning and Implementation Services
– Other AS/400 support family services
– AS/400 solution services
v Determine the responsibilities for all upgrade activities. These responsibilities
include:
– Outline the model upgrade activities and the person responsible for each
activity, as described in Table 4 on page 19.
– Develop an installation plan, a schedule of activities, and a checklist. See the
SA Advisor in the Expert menu Application on HONE.
Your IBM Representative may visit the Solutions Assurance Web site:
http://w3.ibm.com/support/assure
Your IBM representative can use marketing tools to get more information
about these changes:
On a Virtual Machine (VM) system type:
TOOLS SENDTO LEXVMIC1 TOOLS SAPRDOC GET SA95008 SCRIPT *
TOOLS SENDTO LEXVMIC1 TOOLS SAPRDOC GET SA95008 LIST3820 *
v Order any optional hardware and software publications by using PUBORDER or
the System Library Subscription Service (SLSS).
v Determine whether you have any education needs.
Model-specific Considerations for Placing an Order
There are unique model-specific considerations when upgrading from one RISC
model to another RISC model. Before placing an order, everyone involved in the
upgrade process should review these upgrade considerations:
Note: IBM refreshed some of the AS/400 input and output adapter lines in V4R1.
The Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is now an industry standard.
Chapter 2. Planning Your Order for Upgrading or Data Migration 11
Version 3 software users may have some System Product Division (SPD)
hardware that is not supported by these PCI changes. Your IBM
representative can use marketing tools to get more information about these
changes:
On a VM system type:
TOOLS SENDTO USDIST MKTTOOLS MKTTOOLS GET PCIALT PACKAGE
v The prerequisite for migrating SPD book-type adapter cards is a Model S20, S30,
S40, SB1, 620, 640, 650, 720, 730, or 740.
v There is concurrent disk unit maintenance.
v You must upgrade any 266 MB expansion unit to 1063 MB.
v You can use the alternate IPL device (see “Installing from an Alternate
Installation Device” on page 10) function for any installation or recovery that
requires replacing Licensed Internal Code or other licensed programs. Some
models might require an alternate installation device. You can use this device
for installing distribution tapes that were created by a central site, or for
recovery, using a SAVSYS tape.
Note: In Models S10, S20, 600, 620 and 720, the input-output processor (IOP) to
which certain older tape devices connect, require an expansion unit in
order to use the devices. The following tape devices are affected: 2440,
3422, 3430, 3480, 9347, 7208-002, and some models of 3490. Other 7208
models and 3490 models Exx, C11, and C22 are supported without an
expansion unit. Models 3490 C1A and C2A can be converted to Small
Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) format, which is supported without an
expansion unit. If you use older tape devices as alternate installation
devices, on Models S10, S20, 600,620 and 720, you need the expansion
unit. You need to set up the devices as alternate installation devices.
v Models Sxx and 6xx have a new internal-external SCSI input-output adapter.
v You cannot upgrade an AS/400 Advanced Series to an AS/400 Advanced Server.
You cannot update an AS/400 Advanced Server to an AS/400 Advanced Series.
v Be aware that upgrades to an AS/400 may require wiring changes to the
building. For more information, see the AS/400 Technical Studio.
The customer should work with the marketing representative to schedule a
system assurance meeting to review all of the following activities.
Note: This meeting should include the customer, IBM marketing representative,
hardware service representative, software service representative, and any
non-IBM software service representative.
v Review memory considerations as follows:
– Net-priced main storage feature exchanges are not available when upgrading
to another AS/400 PowerPC AS model. In addition, you cannot exchange
AS/400 memory cards for credit toward the purchase of newer or larger
AS/400 memory cards. To reduce the necessity for future memory exchanges,
the customer should order sufficient memory card sizes for future growth
requirements.
– Main storage for AS/400 400
– Main storage for AS/400 40S, 50S, and 53S, are not compatible with each
other.
– You must plug in main storage cards in equally-sized pairs for the Model 500
Feature Processor 2142. Therefore, it might not be possible to reuse all of the
main storage cards from the previous feature processor (2140 or 2141).
12 AS400e 940x RISC-to-RISC Road Map V4R5
®
, 500, and 530 is not compatible with each other.
– You must plug in main storage cards in equally-sized pairs for the AS/400
510 and 530 and the AS/400 50S and 53S.
v Ensure that you know how to accomplish RAID protection on a migrated
internal disk unit. You must have an attachment to a Feature Code for a high
availability DASD controller (for example, 6502, 6512, 6532, 2726,or2740).
Note: In order to avoid additional charges for the IBM service representative’s
time, perform ASP management after completion of the hardware
upgrade.
v Be prepared to delete the old device description and create a new one, if the
type of console changes.
v Review and confirm the hardware and software order.
v Some systems have a mix of unsupported disk unit devices. If the system has
such a mix, consider one of the following:
– Purchase additional supported disk unit devices in order to enable the
removal of all unsupported devices before the model upgrade.
– Purchase AS/400 Data Migration Services.
Upgrading from a 4xx, 5xx, Sxx, or 6xx to a 7xx
Many installed AS/400 models 4xx, 5xx, 6xx, and Sxx (except SB1) can be
upgraded.
All system units and expansion units have locations for features including
processors, main storage, power, expansion units, disk units, tape drives, CD-ROM
drive, and IOPs. Some restrictions may apply to certain combinations of features.
The configurator contains the rules and performance considerations for placement
of these features. It should be used to ensure a valid configuration. The use of
performance tools may also help in optimizing a configuration to match a specific
set of requirements.
Note: When ordering a model upgrade from a mixed-mode server (S20, S30, S40)
to AS/400e
™
7xx servers, an Interactive Specify code must be on the model
Sxx inventory record prior to ordering the model upgrade. The configurator
will generate a Record Purpose Only (RPO) order to add a zero priced
Interactive Specify code to the installed mixed-mode server prior to the
upgrade. This is a required step.
Sxx Interactive Specifies that the configurator will add:
v Model S20
– #1490 Interactive Specify
– #1492 Interactive Specify
v Model S30
– #1492 Interactive Specify
– #1493 Interactive Specify
– #1494 Interactive Specify
v Model S40
– #1495 Interactive Specify
– #1496 Interactive Specify
