Jim,
I wouldn't say that TR9 is the min for Power8, it might be for a card or two that you have installed in the Power8. In any case, I would always upgrade the older machine to the latest cumulative, Technology refresh, and hipers. Then make sure they are perm applied if you are going to load these on the Power8 (since the load on the P8 will IPL on the A-side). You aren't on the latest Cumulative, nor the latest TR. I would imagine you aren't on the latest hipers either.

Subject: upgrade to Power 8 from V7r1
Need to understand requirements of upgrade from a Power 7+ at V7r1 (TR10 ) to Power 8 hardware.
I see that TR9 is the minimum required for Power 8.
Current cume level is 15142.
Is there any more to it than that?
No hmc (if it matters).
Power 8 ordered with option to restore from prev system.
Jim
