I have done more then one migration from z/OS where the version differences were more then 3-4. Order a starter system and do the installation seperate from the other volumes (no disk sharing) Pay special attention to security (racf), Open Edition and SMS. When migrating to the new release make a new copy of the RACF database and reinstall the changes or use racf tools to copy the (changed) passwords and new defined userid's to the new database.
