AIX

Thanks guys for answers.

The info. for the old system:

• System Model: IBM,7026-6H1
• OS & Version: AIX 4.3
• Total Storage on SAN: 1.8 TB

The info. for the new system:

• System Model: I'm not sure. I have to check.
• OS & Version: AIX 5.2
• Total Storage on SAN: 3.8 TB

Is there any additional information required?

Note: Each system has its own Storage on SAN. I will not disconnect the storage from Old server to connect it to New server.

7026-6H1 is a P660, is this an lpar on this machine, I should think so. Run prtconf | more on the second system and cut and paste the top 15 lines into your reply.

I think there is no lpar on 660. You can take a backup and restore it to the other system. You have to create the lv s by yourself. After that you can use lvmirror or lvcopy. Or if you want to change the sizes of lv s you can take a backup by TSM or smt. and restore it to the other system.

Below is the results of prtconf on the new system:

System Model: IBM,9119-590
Machine Serial Number: 515000C
Processor Type: PowerPC_POWER5
Number Of Processors: 2
Processor Clock Speed: 1656 MHz
CPU Type: 64-bit
Kernel Type: 64-bit
LPAR Info: 2 BVRP - Primary
Memory Size: 8192 MB
Good Memory Size: 8192 MB
Firmware Version: IBM,SF230_156
Console Login: enable
Auto Restart: true
Full Core: false

Also, there is no LPAR on the old machine, but on the new machine there is.

OMG!
big job
can you upgrade the p660 to 5.2, to then take a mksysb and then do a migration install on to the p590 LPAR? or do you need to leave the p660 intact at 4.3? (the p590 will not support 4.3)
do the applications on the p660 run on AIX 5.2?
if you need to leave the p660 at 4.3 you will need to start from scratch for the rootvg and the applications on the p590.
