RE: Recovering from a hosed up CUME install

You could, but I would do this second. Slip the LIC will fix the MF* PTFs
under 999, and then you will need to install the OS to fix SS1.

First, I would just load a new cum right on the system and see if all the
pre-reqs then get fixed. Set to applied delayed.

Subject: Recovering from a hosed up CUME install

I have a customer that, for the life of me, managed to install a CUME
that just never seemed to fully apply (V5R4). Over a year ago I
invested 3 or 4 hours tracking which PTF(s) was(were) a co-req or a
pre-req and eventually was so confused by the circular logic (who's on
first, what's on second...) that I have decided to start with a new CUME
and apply it *clean*. The question is, can I *undo* the previous CUME?
I *think* the answer is yes, if I can slip the LIC and then load and
apply the latest CUME.

Is that the best approach? Or should I just I just plan to upgrade to
6.1 and leave it at that? I'd rather not do the 6.1 upgrade at the
moment so if there is a way to recover from a *bad* CUME install, I'd
like to take that approach first.
