Re: 170 crashed

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.

Folks,

My 9406-170 (V5R1) was dead this evening when I arrived home.

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?

Thanks,
Steve Landess
