I'm looking for a spreadsheet, action plan, or simple list of steps I nee d to do in order to upgrade my VM ESA 2.2 system to Z/VM 5.x and at the sam e time move from an old multiprise 2003/103 to a shiney new IBM Z9.
It's been a few years since I've been in charge of a simultaneos VM and hardware upgrade and I can't find any of my old plans. I'm thinking high-level steps here. plan network (TCPIP and SNA) plug in new Z9 somehow get IOCP deck off old box and load to z9 install z/VM copy and modify old SYSTEM CONFIG configure VM and all the products backup both shutdown old VM IPL new VM on new box test fix test etc... Has anyone else recently done this? Do you have a plan you'd be willing to share? One nice thing, this VM is tiny and used only for development, no production. TIA, Bbo Heerdink
