Server Upgrade from 6.3.5 to 7.1.3

[Andrew21210]

We're considering upgrading our 6.3.5 servers up to 7.1.3 in one shot. Has anyone done this successfully? And if so, were there any points to look out for or unexpected issues along the way? Our environment is on zLinux.

It should be a straightforward upgrade as the DB2 environment has not changed that much.

I have done this on xLinux. No problems.

I might even go as far as to say to go directly to 7.1.3.100, and then apply the license from 7.1.3.000...especially if you're planning on using directory-container pools.

We just did this with our environment and did not have a problem. Are you also going from TKLM to SKLM?
