RE: V5R3 upgrade to V5R4

Best to just let him finish, Clark.  LOL!

Remember converting spool files from V4R5 to V5R1?  OUCH!!!  That took
some time.

Hi:

If you don't have sufficient support in your management team to push for
a dependable schedule for planned crucial activities, then you are
stuck.
Maybe the best thing (depends on a host of non-technical factors such as
how much it would bother you to look for another job) is to start the
process when the system is made available to you, and then just let it
take as long as it takes. When it's not ready on time for the users on
Monday (or whenever) then just shrug.

Well, we can dream, can't we ...

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

Everyone at work has known for 3+months that we have the upgrade

scheduled

for 5-11 pm Friday and 8am to 11 pm on Saturday (plenty of time IMO).

Well,

reminder went out this morning 9 am least the 5th one) and gee, guess

what,

now Saturday is a BIG issue.

So my question then is: Is there any way to determine how long it will

take?  I plan on doing 2xSAVSYS (already saved and deleted test

libraries,

other non-essential stuff) and disk status is at <40% of 175 GB.  The 
box

is

a single LPAR 270 with 4 GB memory.
