SRC B600-F103 (was "Howto get full SRC info") -- MIDRANGE-L

As promised, my "update", but not quite:

Today we tried again the Upgrade from V5R2 to V5R3 that gave us SRCB600-F103 as mentioned in my previous posts.We were supposed to repeat everything again, to provide Rochester withadd'l info (words 12, 13.. 19) on SRC B600F103 we had received, up untilnow.

Today we tried it again, but ... Customer had received two identicalshipments for the upgrade CD's. Don't know why. Indeed we had checkedthem in advance just to make sure they were "absolutely the same" (samebuilt, same code, same everything...).So, when we started today, I just thought, let's try with the other CDset... It should make no difference... and to our surprise it worked!Installed Microcode, OS/400 and LPP's.

Well, things never come easy... After upgrading, had to install PTFs:Cumulative and Hiper/DB Group PTFs .Fifth CD from the Cumulative gave an error. What shall we do if PTFscan't install?Happily enough, the 820 had two OPT drives.. Tried from OPT02 and itcould read the same CD OPT01 couldn't!


So, finally everything worked out...

Now : we did not provide Rochester with feedback for B600F103...

Don't either know why PTFs fifth CD couldn't be read from OPT01 but wasread by OPT02...

I'm just writing this down just in case anybody else runs into similarproblems.

Thanks to all who answered my original post.

Antonio,
You are correct. When the server stops yellow light on an SRC itdisplays word 11 by default. You may then up arrow to word 12 andpress enter (blue) to display it. Same with 13 etc. Some words may beall 0's. Additinally some SRCs populate more words than others sojust keep pressing up and enter until no more words are available.
