Re: Upgrading from 620 v4r2 to 720 v4r4

["Todd kidwell" <Todd.kidwell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Cynthia,

About a month ago I upgraded from V4R1 to V4R4 on a 620.  Be sure to check with 
all of your vendors.  I had several (Hawkeye, ROBOT, EZPrint, et al) that 
needed to be upgraded prior to the O.S. upgrade due to changes in the O.S.

One thing that did get me:  I didn't verify the release level on my 594e Perle 
controllers.  If you use the Perle controllers, be sure to check out their web 
site.  Apparently IBM changed the way it uses Anynet and it required an upgrade 
on the control unit.

We will be upgrading our 620 v4r2 to a 720 v4r4 this weekend (requiring
processor upgrade and disk/memory upgrade).
 
...

Has anyone performed something similar and knows of any "gottchas"?
