We have to upgrade our z/VM version 5.1 to version 5.3. We run z/VM only to support our Linux guests. We reviewed the z/VM Migration Guide and see in chapter 2 where the following is hinted at:
Support is provided for simplified migration to z/VM V5.3 from either z/VM V5.2 or z/VM V5.1. We do not know what this means and can not find any elaboration anywhere? Does anyone have a clue? We also can use z/VM Getting Started with Linux on System z to install z/VM into another LPAR. This is how we originally installed and configured z/VM version 5.1, but it was a new z/VM install back then. If we go this route, we will have to redefine all our Linux users and mini-disks all over again or is there some type of migration tool or assistance. Is there a manual or cookbook type doc that better documents this migration process? Would we migrate our Linux guests using the ?big bang? approach or is there a more subtle approach? As always, any help and assistance is much appreciated. Thanks.
