Upgrade task summary

Several processes need to be completed to perform an IBM to Lenovo server pgrade. Some tasks m st be

completed to prepare for the pgrade in advance of performing the act al pgrade. Each task is described in

detail by the s b-topics following the task s mmary.

• In advance of performing the ITL pgrade, the c stomer needs to complete the following tasks:

– Order the ITL pgrade kit for the server.

– Verify access to IBM websites.

– Req est transfer of Feat res on Demand (FoD) keys or new FoD keys.

• When the service technician is ready to perform the ITL pgrade, they will need to complete the following

tasks before they begin:

– Download the latest versions of IBM and Lenovo software tools needed to perform the ITL pgrade.

– Make s re that the FoD key transfer was completed or that new FoD keys were received.

– Verify the contents of the ITL pgrade kit.

– Back p the IBM server config ration and vital prod ct data (VPD).

• To perform the ITL pgrade, service technician will complete the following tasks:

– Replace IBM components with the Lenovo components incl ded in the ITL pgrade kit.

– Update server firmware to the latest Lenovo version.

– Restore the server config ration and VPD.

– Restore the transferred FoD keys or install the new FoD keys.

– Relabel the server as a Lenovo server.

• After the ITL pgrade is complete, the service technician will verify that the conversion is s ccessf l and

pdate the c stomer records.

Preparing for the upgrade

Before a a service technician can begin pgrading a c stomer server, the c stomer m st complete the

following tasks, in advance:

1. Order the correct ITL kit for the Lenovo x3850 X6 or Lenovo x3950 X6 server.

2. Verify that the c stomer IDs and passwords are valid for the IBM S pport portal (http://www.ibm.com/

s pport/), IBM Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/s pport/fixcentral/), and the Feat res on Demand (FoD)

website (https://fod.lenovo.com/lkms). The c stomer will need to access these IBM websites to download

tools and information for their IBM server before the service technician can perform the pgrade.

3. If any Feat res on Demand (FoD) options or feat res are being sed in the IBM server, the c stomer

m st complete the following steps to man ally transfer or req est new FoD keys for se in the Lenovo

server:

a. Make a list of all the FoD activation keys that are active for the IBM server. Select Retrieve history at

the Feat res on Demand website (https://www.ibm.com/systems/x/fod) to view the active keys for the

IBM server.

b. Verify which FoD are installed in the IBM server (see the IBM Integrated Management Module II
