I have an open PMR on this and below is a response from IBM today 11/30. This was in response to a question regarding doing a V5R1 to V5R3 upgrade and the possible impact of this (my words) unstable CUME process. "Kirk, There will be some new instructions coming out and the CUME will be respun (keeping same number however. If, you are putting on the old revision of the CUME, it's recommended to load, and set the three pre-req PTF's for apply first (SI17595 MF36693 MF36564), then IPL to B side. Then you can do the GO PTF Opt 8 for the CUME and groups, then IPL again. 1. load PTF SI17595 2. load PTF MF36693 3. load PTF MF36564 4. apply PTF SI17595 (*IMMED or delayed) 5. apply PTF MF36693 (*IMMED or delayed) 6. apply PTF MF36564 delayed 7. IPL to B side 8. GO PTF opt 8, loading and setting CUME and all groups 9. IPL The new instructions will have you do the above if you have the old respin of the CUME - while the new respin of the CUME will be more like the previous instructions, only work. Let me know if you have any questions. The new CUME and instructions are planned to come out sometime this week. " A follow-up with IBM on how I could tell if want version of C5298 I will have... "Kirk, I have not heard the specifics, but my understanding is that the new instructions will have a step for you to determine which spin level you have, but I don't know what that step is." Again I and others have had good luck (no problems) and some of us have had problems (me included) my suggestion is to wait a week or so and re-order if you can wait to install it. _____________________ Kirk Goins CCNA Systems Engineer, Manage Inc.
