I am very new to Domino and am facing my first upgrade. We are currently running R5.10 on a ISeries 270 server and R6 at the client level. We do not have any other applications running at this time within in the Domino application structure except for mail. If anyone could point me in the right direction to maybe some IBM related links, on how the install should be performed or point out some problems/issues that will arise during the install and how to manage them prior to installing I would greatly appreciate it.
Subject: Upgrading To R6 on ISeries
The first place you want to start is making sure your AS/400 (iSeries) meets the minimum requirements for R6 with regards to OS/400 system level, PTF"s, etc.

Have you never installed or upgraded a server installation? Anyway, I have some Redbooks you should consider taking a more deep look into:

There is also a regular upgrading Redbook which is really good:

Hope this is of some help.
