Will your new box be LPAR'd?? IS your new system coming pre-
installed??

No LPAR. The OS and Licensed programs will be installed supposedly,
but I am still contemplating if my best bet wouldn't be to use the
technique described in the backup/recovery guide under "restoring your
system on a different server" (or something like that?

thanks,

That is the route I would go with this, I would do a 01DM IPL from my
savsys tape.

Does it make any difference if the new box has mirrored drives and my
existing is raid??? that's all transparent to the restore process
isn't it??

Yep that part will probably be all setup by IBM or your BP.

Hardware between each does not matter so long as you have enough disk
to load on the new one.

I would not restore the OS and LIC of the 810 on the 515. on the 810
you do a save menu option 21 - save the entire system. On the restore
side you want to do the restore steps individually, starting after the
skipped first few steps of restoring the operating system.

actually, option 21 from the restore menu might do exactly what you
want it to do. When doing a scratch install on a system you boot from
tape to restore the LIC, then take the option to restore the OS from
the DST menu. The last step to to run is restore menu option 21 using
the tape created by save menu option 21. This last step is the only
one you should do since the 515 already has the LIC and OS installed
on it.
