You are generally better to do the restore process, and then do the upgrade. The upgrade does the conversions of file formats for internal IBM objects that otherwise could have been lost.

No Raid. What a bummer. Tried to IPL and I hear clicking noises and squealing, (and it's stuck on SRC C600450A) so I'm pretty sure that one of the disks (2X8.5gb) has failed. I made a complete system backup (opt 21) 3 days ago, so pratically nothing is lost. Just looked. Now I have a system attention light, and SRC A6005090 (System Startup failed in unattended IPL mode). Following the diagnostic procedure, I am now IPL'ing in manual mode. Got the Disk Configuration Error Report, which indicates that unit 2 has failed. Now I'm thinking that this is the perfect opportunity to do a clean install of V5R2. I know which libraries I need to restore from the backups, so I think this is a no-brainer. Anybody disagree? Anybody got any working 6713-050's that they want to sell cheap?
