What to Do When the Hardware Arrives
When the hardware arrives, the customer should notify the hardware service
representative and schedule a time for system assurance checkpoint prior to the
hardware installation (MES upgrade).
Notes:
1. For customer install systems follow the instructions that came with your server
to get set up. If you are replacing an existing system while preserving the
original serial number, use the data migration section of this book.
2. The customer must have at least 64MB of memory or arrange to have
additional memory installed before the upgrade can proceed. For more
information on prerequisites prior to an upgrade, see the manual Software
Installation, SC41-5120-05. A PDF version of this manual is available from the
iSeries Information Center under System planning and installation ->
Hardware and software -> Software and licensed programs -> Install
software.
Preparing the Current System
In this section, you will be asked to save your system several times. IBM strongly
recommends that you save your system when instructed to do so. Saving your
system allows you to have recovery data in case of disaster.
Approximately two weeks before the hardware service representative arrives, the
customer should do the following:
__ 1. Acquire the preventive service planning information (see “Appendix C.
Obtain the Latest Preventive Service Planning Information” on page 43)
from electronic customer support, if available, or from the software service
representative.
__ 2. For information pertaining to logical partitions, see the Logical Partitions
topic under Systems Management in the iSeries Information Center. There
are some specific steps to perform for upgrading a server with primary
and secondary partitions installed.
__ 3. For considerations when upgrading to 5769-RD1 OnDemand, see
“Appendix B. Considerations and Solutions” on page 39 for information on
OnDemand.
