Now that we are off our last 5.5 server, the next project is upgrading the
6.1 server to 6.3.4.

Since the hardware is getting long-in-the-tooth, we want to move it to a
new box as well.

The book I found that has instruction on upgrading from V6.1 to V6.3+ has
some confusing instructions (basically doing all kinds of DB2 queries/lists
and saving the info) but then just installing 6.3 using the wizard?   I
especially love the nebulous statement "*Correct any database errors that
are detected during the installation process.*" and "*The wizard
automatically corrects some errors in the database during the upgrade to
V6.3 or later and DB2 V9.7. You might need to correct other errors manually.
*"

My question is, since I am moving to new hardware, can I simply install
6.3.4 on the new server and restore from the DB backup of the 6.1 server or
do I still have to go through some kind of conversion/migration process due
to the different DB2 levels?
