Subject: A few good docs…

You can upgrade from v7.0.2 → v8.5.1 in “one step”, no need for incremental-installations. Here are a few good TechNotes for upgrading to v8.5 / v8.5.1:

Title: Domino 8.5 for i: Getting started
Doc #: 7013148
URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg27013148

Title: Supported configurations for Notes and Domino 8.5
Doc #: 1358406
URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg21358406

If you plan on running DAOS at v8.5.1, you’ll need a Hotfix for SPR: AHOE7W5RTL. Contact IBM Lotus Support to obtain that.
