IBMi OS Upgrade

  

IBM V5R4 is an operating system that was released by IBM in 2006. IBM created a 256 page document (SC41-5120-11) geared towards IBMi upgrades. It only covers some of the pitfalls that can be encountered during an upgrade that crosses over a release that requires object conversion.


If your organization is running V5R4 or lower, it is critical that you have a comprehensive upgrade test before actually attempting the upgrade. IBM has no documented or supported methods for downgrading. It is a full scratch system and restoration from tape fix.


Enough scary stuff– 


Our team has done thousands of OS upgrades and can help you figure out what obstacles you may encounter- before you do. Our goal is to thoroughly test the process and give your team the confidence to move forward or the knowledge to stop!


It is recommended to upgrade to a more recent version of the operating system, such as IBM i 7.5 or IBM i 7.4.


Let us help you do it safely!
