IBM withdraws support for IBM i V6R1 at the end of September 2015.
Afterwards, V6R1 support is available with Service Extension which is an extra fee in addition to your IBM Software Maintenance support (SWMA).
Even with Service Extension, there are no more PTFs for V6R1 and support is on a best efforts basis.
Now is the time to upgrade to V7R1 or V7R2.
And, you can upgrade your IBM POWER server in 4 hours – instead of a whole weekend.
How is that possible?

This link explains how we do it so you don’t have to spend the weekend for a version upgrade (common for most IBM i version upgrades).
Not only is the 4-Hour Version Upgrade faster, you can test your system on the new version and NEVER impact your production environment.
In addition, this upgrade process also tests your ability to recover from a disaster – at no extra cost.
We’d love to hear from you.
