Domino 7.0.1 to Domino 8.5.1

We are running Domino on iSeries, V 5.4, and are running Domino 7.0.1. We are going to be adding Domino 8.5.1 next Friday. Then in October we will be running iSeries 6.1 Couple questions.

  1. Will there be an issue when when we upgrade to 6.1 with Domino?

  2. Will there be any issues with DAMO?

  3. Will there be any issues with users who use the Outlook Connector? I would guess no considering it looks at the FQN but just want to make sure.

Subject: Question 1, IBM i Lotus Domino Upgrade, and V6R1 deployment

Hi Brian,

I am addressing question 1 within my response as I have expertise primarily with Domino as it relates to IBM i.

This link should help you with your 8.5.1 planning (or 8.5.2 if you so choose as 8.5.2 is now available. If you still would like 8.5.1, it is suggested that you grab FP4).

These wold be your part numbers in which to obtain (for whichever you chose to deploy):

IBM Lotus Domino 8.5.1 for IBM i English (CZ5RZEN)

IBM Lotus Domino 8.5.2 for IBM i English (CZIQ5EN)

  1. Will there be an issue when when we upgrade to 6.1 with Domino?
