What to Do When the Hardware Arrives
When the hardware arrives, the customer should notify the hardware service
representative and schedule a time for the 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 without an upgrade path
covered in Appendix C, “Possible AS/400 RISC-to-RISC Upgrades” on page 45,
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. See the Software
Installation book for more information on prerequisites prior to an upgrade.
Check the load source size as follows:
1. Use STRSST (or DST) to do the following:
a. Select ″Work with Disk Units″ option.
b. Select ″Display Disk Configuration″ option.
c. Select ″Display Disk Configuration Capacity″ option.
d. Locate the line displayed for Unit 1. This line shows the protected and
unprotected capacity of the loadsource disk unit. One of the displayed fields
is zero, and one has a size.
2. Write down the size of the loadsource disk unit here- ______________. This
information will be used later in the upgrade.
Preparing the Current System
Approximately two weeks before the hardware service representative arrives, the
customer should do the following:
__ 1. Acquire the preventive service planning information (see Appendix G,
“Obtain the Latest Preventive Service Planning Information” on page 63)
from electronic customer support (see Appendix F, “How to Verify and Set
Up Electronic Customer Support” on page 55) if available, or from the
software service representative.
