I have done several of these with no issues. I do segregate the various
PTF groups and the OS/400 code stuff into separate catalogs. I do have
a homemade PTF group that I load in advance which contains all the PTFs
for image catalogs on V5R2 as well as the license agreement PTFs needed
to get to V5R3. I load and apply my group and create all the catalogs a
week or so before the upgrade. I also do the LIC space extension at that
time. Come upgrade day it's finish backup and IPL from the catalog.
Now that we can write our own images through VMI I will be changing over
to custom install images with the PTFs already applied. Should cut
upgrade time in half!

I'm looking for someone who has had experience with upgrading from an
Image catalog. (I was doing a V5R2 - V5R3 upgrade.) The system was at
C4244520 with all of the required Image Catalog and upgrade PTF's (per
SupportLine.)
It appeared to me that having multiple image catalogs on the system
caused the LIC install to hang. I had the LIC and O/S in image catalog
UPGRADE05. I also had image catalogs CUMULATIVE and GROUPPTFS. The
command entered was: PWRDWNSYS OPTION(*IMMED) RESTART(*YES)
IPLSRC(*IMGCLG) IMGCLG(UPGRADE05)
After the LIC installs hung at srcC6004001 (three times) I would IPL and
find image catalog UPGRADE05 unloaded from OPTVRT01 and either
CUMULATIVE or GROUPPTFS loaded. After deleting image catalogs
CUMULATIVE and GROUPPTFS the LIC install completed successfully and
continued with the O/S install.
Is this a "normal" behavior?
