Preparing for Upgrading

Before you begin, you will need to know the following information, have

made some preliminary decisions, and have performed some preliminary

actions:

• Determine the type of upgrade. You have three options:

— Upgrade a standalone system

— Upgrade a client/server system in one pass

— Upgrade a client/server system in a phased migration

• For all systems involved, have available:

— Network IP address

— Password information

• Read through the selected procedure(s) in this document BEFORE

you begin the upgrade, and make note of any information you will

need during the upgrade process. You should have this information

available before you begin.

Finally, please appreciate that no two SNA conﬁgurations are identical,

and that the information and procedures described in this document

should therefore be taken as useful guidelines rather than as 100%

accurate instructions. In some areas, you may need to adapt the

procedures given here to your own particular system conﬁguration.
