Oh my, that is old.
And an 810 tops out at IBM i 6.1.

But with your ERP that old I wouldn't go past V5R4 since anything past 
that will require some updates from Infor and since you're not paying 
maintenance you best just plan on purchasing it from scratch again.  Might 



be cheaper than back maintenance.  They're really not in the mood to shaft 



those of us who religiously pay maintenance and cut those who don't a 
break.
And, if you're not paying maintenance to IBM either I'd stay at the OS 
you're on since any upgrade will require new software keys from IBM.

You might want to check your DR plan.  Because you are in for a really 
rude surprise if you think you are going to be able to restore that and 
run it on a different machine for anything less than a good six figures. 
Not counting hardware...
