Upgrades to iSeries servers 315
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486Up8x.fm
RISC-to-RISC Data Migration (#0205)
The #0205 RISC-to-RISC Data Migration specify code is used when a customer
orders a new iSeries server to replace an existing RISC-based AS/400e or
iSeries server. The #0205 is used when the new server has a different serial
number, but is not an upgrade.
The #0205 specify code is orderable on the initial order of an iSeries Model 520,
550, 570, 595, 800, 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, or 890. IBM manufacturing
loads the System Licensed Internal Code (SLIC) through QSYS of OS/400 when
the #0205 specify code is ordered. This limited code load allows data, profiles,
user interface customizing, and so on to be moved from the existing server to the
new server with less effort.
Using the #0205 specify code means that any new and additional software that
might preloaded by IBM is now loaded by the customer after the information from
the original server is moved over.
Migration towers
Migration towers are the result of an upgrade from an AS/400e Model 600, 620,
640, 650, 720, 730, 740, or Sxx to an iSeries Model 820, 830, or 840. All the I/O
and disk units in the former system unit and any attached towers remain
accessible to the upgraded system through the connection of the migration tower
to the HSL loop.
Migration towers are not supported by the 520, 550, 570, 595, 800, 810, 825,
870, and 890 models.
Configuration rules for towers are fully described in Chapter 4 “Migration rules” in
IBM Eserver iSeries Migration: System Migration and Upgrades at V5R1 and
V5R2, SG24-6055.
#5033 Migration Tower I (600/S10 System Unit)
#5034 Migration Tower I (10 disk S20/620, 720 system)
#5035 Migration Tower I (15 disk S20/620, 720 system)
#5077 Migration Tower II
SPD expansion towers (attached to iSeries 820, 830, and 840 models via the
#5034 or #5035, and #5077 Migration Towers)
Refer to the IBM Eserver iSeries and AS/400e System Builder, SG24-2155, for
detailed information about each Migration Tower.
