Introduction IBM i
Upgrade Planning
First things first some terminology
Firmware??
LIC?
Resave?
SLIC?
First things first . Pre-POWER5
i5/OS
(OS/400)
LIC (SLIC)
Hardware
i5/OS (V5R3 or V5R4)

LIC: Licensed Internal Code (also was
informally referred to as SLIC (Systems LIC) in
the past
Layered architecture below the machine
interface (MI)
Provides functions including storage
management, pointers and addressing,
program management, etc.
TIMI* sub component of LIC
High-level machine instruction set and
application programming interface
*TIMI: Technology Independent Machine Interface

And then came POWER5, POWER6, POWER7.
IBM i
LIC
IBM i (previously known as i5/OS)

LIC: Licensed Internal Code (also was informally
known as SLIC Systems LIC))
Layered architecture below the machine interface
(MI)
Provides functions including storage
management, pointers and addressing, program
management, etc.
TIMI* sub component of LIC
High-level machine instruction set and application
programming interface
Firmware
System Firmware
Microcode stored on the service processor
Hardware
*TIMI: Technology Independent Machine Interface

What is a Resave?
Redistribution of LIC and/or IBM i (i5/OS)
Provides correct base level of install media for NEW functions (e.g.
to support new hardware features)
Reduces time to install Cumulative packages

Determining the Required Resave Level?

Simple example: POWER 5 570 with IBM i 6.1 installed -- considering
upgrading to 9117-MMA (5.0 GHz POWER6) system
Utilize the IBM Prerequisite Web site:
http://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eserverprereq.nsf
Determining the Required Resave Level

Utilize the IBM Prerequisite Web site
Enter model, machine type and (optionally) feature code
http://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eserverprereq.nsf/UpgradeCategories/Hardware?opendocument

Utilize the IBM Hardware Prerequisite Web tool
Click resulting feature code for more details
http://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eserverprereq.nsf

https://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eserverprereq.nsf/HW2/Hardware~eServer~7388?OpenDocument
Question: How do I find out

what MY system has?
Answer: Via marker PTFs
Determining Resave Level (via Marker PTFs) Resave Web site

http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/i/planning/resave/index.html
Determining Resave Level Installed (via Marker PTFs)

http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/i/planning/resave/v6r1.html
Remember?
Determining Resave Level Installed

Use DSPPTF to check if the following required Fix Level/CUM and
Resave level are installed (for our example)
IBM i 6.1 RS610-00 OS and RS610-E LIC --- AP07348 (OS Marker PTF) and
RE08245 (LIC Marker PTF)
Fix Level (CUM) C82886610 -- Use DSPPTF LICPGM(5761SS1)
Determining Resave Level Installed
Use DSPPTF to check if the following required Fix Level/CUM and Resave level are
installed (for our example)
Fix Level (CUM) C88286610 and IBM i 6.1 resave marker (AP07348) -- Use
DSPPTF LICPGM(5761SS1)
IBM i 6.1 LIC marker Use DSPPTF LICPGM(5761999) RE08245 (RS610-E)
NOT installed. RE08043 is marker PTF for RS610-B.
So required Fix Level (CUM) and is installed, but we need a later resave of LIC installed.

IBM Pre-Upgrade Verification Tool
What is the IBM Pre-Upgrade Verification Tool?

As-is tool developed by IBM to help ensure a successful IBM i
(i5/OS) upgrade
Tool checks to see if key required pre-upgrade steps have been
successfully completed
If not, the steps that were missed or completed incorrectly are
flagged
YOU then have the opportunity to successfully complete the
missing/incorrect steps
Important the tool itself does not automatically perform any
corrective actions/missed steps
Useful to anyone preparing for an upgrade

Source: OS/400 V5R2M0 and above
Target : up to IBM i 7.1
New Pre-Upgrade Verification Tool (PRUV) verifies:

Prepare for Install steps
Prerequisite PTFs applied
Acceptance of Software Agreements
Allocation of additional LIC space
System values
ANZOBJCVN PTFs applied ( V6R1 only)
etc.
Checks for other items that may prevent a successful upgrade
Damaged system profiles
Duplicate/extension files in system libraries
etc.
Optionally performs other steps, including checking for the existence of useful
items prior to the upgrade including
Performance data
BRMS recovery report
etc.
PRUV Tool Requirements:

Client
Windows PC
Server:
OS/400 V5R2/V5R3 or i5/OS V5R4
and Host Servers (Option 12) installed

Program conversion to IBM i 6.1, IBM i 7.1
i5/OS program conversion to IBM i 6.1, IBM i 7.1

This is required for i 6.1 or IBM i 7.1 from release V5R4 or earlier
This is not the same as CISC-to-RISC
Not a hardware conversion
Simple process to review objects and estimate time to convert
Conversion requires program's creation data (observability)
You can use the rating of a different processor for the estimate
Eradicate any unsupported program alterations
Extend unique ability to remove code corruption
Every runnable MI application includes creation data, so can be converted

without source
No ongoing updates required

IBM i Program Conversion
Ensures unprecedented system integrity

Delivers improved performance
Enables exploitation of future system and processor capabilities
Program conversion will be required to run with IBM i 6.1 or IBM i 7.1
Program conversion automatically upgrades software to exploit latest system

enhancements
Not required for POWER6, which can run IBM i 5.4
Required for POWER7, can run on IBM i 6.1 or IBM i 7.1
Conversion requires program's creation data (observability)
Note that all programs created for V5R1 or later releases have had their
creation data automatically saved during program creation
Tool available now to analyze program conversion for i5/OS V5R3 / V5R4
Identifies potential issues, if any, and estimates conversion time

Program conversion is performed during install/restore of applications, at first use
or at scheduled time
ITSO Redpaper: i5/OS Program Conversion: Getting Ready for V6R1 http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/redp4293.html?Open
About Conversion
Replace existing program object, without compile
o Most attributes retained; modification timestamp updated
o Works for all* created for V5R1 or later,
older programs unless creation data removed
One-time process, but required either direction

o V5R4 or V5R3 i 6.1
o V5R4 or V5R3 i 6.1
Integral to i 6.1 or i 7.1 , so no options or added fees

Average per-program convert times, large sample
o Sub-second on fastest processors, < 4 seconds on slowest
o Programs with many modules can take a lot longer
Programs with creation data,

on pre-i 6.1 systems
Programs created/converted
on i6.1 systems with
pre-POWER6 hardware
Programs created/converted
on i6.1 systems with
POWER6 hardware
Optional conversion during restore, mandatory before running

Mandatory conversion during restore
No conversion required
Program conversion method choices on i 6.1, i7.1

Choose combination of methods
o You initiate by library
STROBJCVN
o Restore/install
FRCOBJCVN(*YES *ALL) or set QFRCCVNRST >= 2
o First call (etc.)
Consider ANZOBJCVN estimates,

Be sure to plan for ample time to do program conversion planning

& analysis (e.g. ANZOBJCVN) use the ITSO redpaper
Contact your applications providers/software vendors
Use the IBM Information Center and Memo to Users!
(If skipping a release, read the interim releases Memo to Users)
Leverage the as is IBM Pre-Upgrade Verification tool and collect before and after
performance data
Load source unit must be 17GB or greater and ensure that enough reserved space is allocated
for LIC
Be sure to SAVE your entire system before the IBM i upgrade (and double check the save job
log) (FlashCopy the entire system works as well)
Must accept SW license agreements before upgrade
Verify the contents of your software order and consider using Virtual Media installation
Use the IBM i Planning Web site and refer to Preventive Service Planning documents at
