In this session
We are going to run through all the steps required to do an upgrade: from when you initially start thinking about the upgrade, what you need to do to prepare for the upgrade, issues & concerns to address before we start the upgrade, the actual upgrade, and then the verification and conversions afterward.
A successful upgrade is one which the users don’t know you worked all weekend, and they don’t realize anything has changed until you start rolling out the new features and functions.

ANZOBJCVN
• MOST IMPORTANT STEP GOING TO 6.1
2 Months before: Run ANZOBJCVN to see what issues you might have .
• For V6R1, unique conversions will occur with programs in libraries, Java™ programs in directories, spooled files, and integrated file system names in files systems that are not case-sensitive. Before you upgrade to a new release, it is strongly recommended that you gather information about specific object types on your system.
• Going from V5R4 to 7.1 (Skipping 6.1) requires you to perform this as well.

SPD – Get Rid of it !!
• Support of SPD I/O i5/OS V5R3 was the final release to support the attachment of SPD towers or SPD Migration Towers. Customers must complete the migration or conversion of I/O attached to their iSeries model 820, 830, or 840 via SPD towers or SPD Migration Towers before upgrading to V5R4. Any SPD I/O cards in these towers or older I/O devices which can only be attached to SPD cards must be replaced by newer I/O. SPD-attached PCI I/O towers #5065 or #5066 must be converted to the HSL-attached #5074 or #5079 PCI Expansion Towers or replaced with newer generation PCI-X towers such as #5094 or #5294. The PCI-X towers offer a higher speed HSL connection and the ability to support 15k rpm disk drives.
