:This is a known problem within IBM.  Had the same issue doing
:a V4R4 to V5R1 upgrade last month on a Model 720 2063.  Wound
:up having to do the install of Licened Program Products
:manually........I not only raised hell with the support
:center, but also pushed this through another channel as a post
:install review.  Have heard nothing back as of
:yet......................
:
:You are right on the mark about much end user responsibility
:that is not documented in the install guide or memo to users.
:If anyone else has experienced this, please, please log your
:complaint with IBM!!!!!!  Maybe if enough do that, this will
:get fixed.................
