"new" is, in this case, z/OS 1.13. We need to be able to flash our 8870
and also use our VTLs.
I can do what ever I want to the IOCP. I currently have to manage it and
the OSAs with z/VM as OS/390 does not understand a z10. I also have a
spare z10 I will use as a sandbox to test on.

How new is "new"? If you are free to do so, I would recommend devising a
consist rollout and service plan, taking advantage of static system symbols in, e.g.,
volume naming.
Likewise, do you have the freedom to change the LPAR setup, or do you have to
go with what's on the old machine.
In general, the more you think out and document things up front, the less
hassle you will have.

Subject: migration to new z/OS release
I am just now starting the research on migrating an os/390 machine to
z/OS. Currently, it is running on a z/10, and we will use an z/OS that
is compatible with the z/10, so a hardware conversion is not an issue.
This OS/390 system has been managed by multiple out-sourcers and
bastardized to the point that we would like to consider just installing
a new, clean z/OS, then migrating the data to it. This is something I
have done many times on z/VSE, but not on z/OS and I know it's not as
simple due to the ICF catalogs and such found on z/OS.
Does anybody have a favorite document that describes such a move and the
things we need to consider? Pointers to "free" tools would also be
helpful as we decide which way to migrate this box.
