Re: SLIC/OS Levels for POWER5 to POWER5+ Upgrade

Thanks all for your comments/thoughts.  I'm pretty sure that POWER5+ does
run on V5R3.  Has anyone got any experience re the #2692 (V5R3 refresh)
feature of SS1 that can be ordered as part of the hardare upgrade?  My
understanding is that it consists of 3 CDs (1 updated SLIC and 2 for Base
OS) but I'd just like to confirm.  I'm assuming this would ship the latest
RS version (RSH?) of SLIC.

I may be wrong but my understanding for V3R5m5 was for external
dasd/load source.  According to the website you are good to go at V5R3M0
cum c6024 slic RSH.  Again, there is a chance that some of your
components could require V5R4.

Help me out here folks... This is a 9406-570 0934 7757.  I can't find a
thing about V5R3M5 on this box, nor can I find any requirement that I
need it unless I'm trying to do load source off external DASD, which I'm
not.

As other have said, yes you need v5r3m5........Or you can upgrade to
v5r4 before the upgrade
