RE: Licensed Internal Code Incompatible

As far as i know from my seniors, they did that way numerous times in their years with iSeries, without encountering error, like this time.

That's why i wish to find out what are the relation between the external tape drive library manager and the V5R4 LIC cd, or other causes.

i didn't try the way that without the CD in drive.

The thing that jumps out at me here is that the CD you
actually IPL'd from
was at V5R4M5, yet the tape you were going to install LIC
from was at V5R4M0
- if I read your email correctly.

I've never actually tried this but I think I can see
where it might cause an
issue. Without thinking too hard about it, it seems
reasonable that the LIC
version to be installed from the recovery media should be
the same as as
what was used to boot the system.

What happens if you don't have a CD in the drive ?

i was trying to scratch a 820 machine to V5R4 from a tape
which had been
done V5R4M0 entire system backup :-

-Tape loaded into a Ultrium LTO 2 external tape drive.
-Powered up 820 in D Manual mode.
-V5R4M5 cd loaded into cd drive.
-Selected Alternate Device Installation, then select
Install LIC.

But error : 'Licensed Internal Code Incompatible'

Tried powering down 820; then repeat above steps, but same.
Then later it's lucky that found another cd of V5R4M0
to retry above,
everything ok.

So my concern is : why occured this error 'Licensed
Internal Code
Incompatible' when using a V5R4M5 cd, while using a
V5R4M0 cd seemed to fix
it ?

Search in IBM website returns a result of header related to
'34942303
Library device failure', but unfortunately the web link
is broken. Is it
any relation between the external tape drive library
manager and the V5R4
LIC cd, or other causes ?

Any ideas appreaciated. Thx..
