Table 1. Supported Releases for Software Upgrades Release of OS/400
Should You Use this Book?
Currently Installed
(Source) Release Valid Target Releases(1)
V4R5M0 V4R5M0 Yes. You can use this book to replace the installed
operating system and licensed programs. Your system already runs on the PowerPC [Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC)] architecture.
Notes:
1. In order to use secondary logical partitions, the Licensed Internal Code and OS/400 operating system must be at V4R4M0 or V4R5M0 in the primary partition and in every secondary partition. For further information on supported releases on logical partitions, see the “Summary of Changes to Software Installation”
on page xv.
2. You can replace an installed level of V4R1M0 with V4R5M0, but it is not supported for interoperability.
V4R4M0 V4R5M0
No. Do not use this book. You cannot upgrade directly from V3R7M0 to V4R5M0. You must first upgrade to V4R1M0 or higher.
V3R6M0 V4R1M0
V3R7M0
No. Do not use this book. You cannot upgrade directly from V3R6M0 to V4R5M0. You must first upgrade to V4R1M0 or higher.
Table 1. Supported Releases for Software Upgrades (continued) Release of OS/400
Should You Use this Book?
Currently Installed
(Source) Release Valid Target Releases(1)
V3R2M0 V4R4M0
V4R3M0 V4R2M0 V4R1M0 V3R7M0
No. Do not use this book to replace these releases. If you have any of these source release levels currently installed, your system must be upgraded to PowerPC architecture at the same time that you install the Version 4 software.
These are called Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) to Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) system hardware upgrades. They are also known as Internal Microprogramming Instruction (IMPI) to PowerPC
architecture upgrades. Only the V3R2M0 release is elligible to upgrade to V4R5M0.
Go to the book AS/400 Road Map for Changing to PowerPC Technology, SA41-5150. This book is part of the licensed program offering 5798-TBU, CISC to RISC Upgrade Kit. It is possible to upgrade from an early CISC system to a more recent CISC system. However, those situations are not discussed in AS/400 Road Map for Changing to PowerPC Technology. Use the Software Installation book for the release appropriate for your CISC IMPI-based system.
V3R1M0 V4R3M0
V3R0M7 No. Do not use this book. Version 3 Release 0 Modification
7 (V3R0M7) is the Licensed Internal Code level used on the AS/400 9402 Model 236. This model only runs the System Support Programs (SSP) operating system at Release 7.1. A migration from the SSP to an OS/400 system is required for V4R5M0. IBM recommends migrating your SSP programs and data to either OS/400 System/36 Environment or native OS/400. Normal SSP utilities can be used to save libraries, files and folders from the SSP to tape or diskette. Then the AS/400 Migration Assistant can be used to restore the libraries, files, and folders to the System/36 Environment on OS/400.
The following information describes this process in greater detail:
