Moving to a new AS400

[DNieswiadomy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We are currently running Domino 5.0.x on 3 AS/400s in a hierarchial name
scheme:

                    SERNO1   (first AS/400 we put up-main certifier)
                          |
                          |
               --------------------------------
               |                |
                  SERNO2                   SERNO3

By SERNO I mean serial numbers of our AS400s.

We are now replacing the SERNO1 machine with a larger AS400  (different
serial number).
What is the best way to move to the new machine?
Is there a way of transferring all the information (data / etc) and certify
the new machine
in one process?  With SERNO1 being our 'main' certifier, will that
transfer?
Am I better keeping the old serial number around just for Domino and copy
everything over??
