Re: B600 0901 on B side IPL

As a follow up. My travel schedule prevented me from calling IBM on this. On a lark, I went ahead and reloaded the OS over the weekend since it takes maybe all of 30 minutes to do. That took care if the issue. I was able to IPL to the B side and then start the install of PTF groups with no problems.

It could have been that my rusty i5/OS installation skills had me miss something important that came back to haunt me but, in any case, a reload (the Microsoft Method) took care of the problem.

My brand spanking new JS12 needed the latest cume for IBM i 6.1 so I have downloaded that, stuffed it into an image catalog and as I read through the install document noticed that it had to be applied in a B side IPL. I ran the pwrdwnsys command and told it to restart on the B side and it failed to come up. I got a B600 0901 SRC. So I manually changed the IPL back to A and it came right up.

The text on the SRC seems to indicate that the LIC needs to be re-installed. That seems a little extreme doesn't it? The only HIPER or reference I see to this an APAR in 2005 that is included in the V5R3M0 cumulative PTF cover letter from October 21st, 2008.

Anyone see this before? If not, I'll give IBM a call (and see if they fixed my SWMA entitlement.....).
