Migrating to OS/2 Warp Server for e-business

6.1 Preparing the Hardware

The effort required to prepare new system hardware in advance of migration is dependent on the type, size, and complexity of that hardware. The preparation process includes gathering the right system hardware support diskettes, adapter device drivers, peripheral device drivers, and the hardware configuration itself.

Since the hardware configuration step is a necessary requirement with all new hardware and it is not specific to OS/2 Warp Server for e-business, it will not be discussed here.

Note

It is strongly advisable to verify whether the proposed system hardware is supported before proceeding with a migration. Areas for concentration include Network Interface Cards (NICs), system board specifications (particularly in the case of multiple processors), video adapter support, and support for peripheral devices.
