Guys
I do have a scenerio where we have to clone one existing P570 ( POWER5) with dedicated Lpars ( no VIO)to an about to purchase P520 ( POWER 6 ) with virtulaized Lpars.
we have decided to go for mksysb restoration technique , but do have following questions:
1, Will there any be issue while restoring mksysb of a POWER 5 server to POWER 6 server ( AIX 5.3 will be the OS for both source/target servers)
2. Will there any be issue expected while restoring mksysb of a dedicated resources Lpar to a virtualized resources Lpar. offcourse we will be setting VIO with new p520 separately?
Any real experiences to share?
Thanks & Regards
