Re: Upgrade from 170 to new i520

[Neil Palmer/DPS <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For Network Atributes, System Reply Lists, System Values etc.

1) On old system create a temporary library.  Run RTVSYSINF and store in 
this library.

2) On new system, restore the library from step 1 and run UPDSYSINF.


If you are going to restore QUSRSYS and QGPL the new machine should have 
been ordered with the RISC to RISC migration feature, not Pre-loaded 
Software.  This gives you a system with LIC and base OS/400.  You can also 
take a system with pre-installed LIC & OS/400 back to this state by 
installing and initializing using the IBASE_1 CD (D IPL in manual mode). 
After you restore your old QUSRSYS & QGPL (and I'd restor eall other data 
too) you basically run a Release Upgrade using the V5R3 CD's, which will 
update QUSRSYS & QGPL to V5R3.

Be careful with RSTCFG.  Make sure you specify SRM(*NONE) when restoring 
to a new system.  I prefer never to run RSTCFG.  On the old system I run 
RTVCFGSRC *ALL *ALL to a source member.  After restoring to the new system 
I use this source member to create a CL program to recreate the 
lines/controllers/devices - after searching and replacing resource names 
to the correct values (DSPHDWRSC *CMN will help with renaming resources) 
and deleting the IBM supplied lines/controllers/devices/modes etc. that 
are already on the new system.

You will not have the network attributes, system values, replies list, 
edition codes restored. AFAIK the only way to have this stuff restored 
is to use an OS400 restore (if you don't want them to manually retype 
or programmatically set). So the process would be to upgrade the 170 to 
V5R3M0 then perform a full backup (eg GO BACKUP, option 21), then 
perform a full restore on the i520 (scratch install of the microcode, 
the i5/OS then GO RESTORE, option 21 which is similar to your 
commands).
