Re: SLIP install of the OS

I agree with Pete here. If you don't restore the stuff from your previous system then that stuff won't be in QGPL and QUSRSYS and won't get 'uplifted' to the new release with option 11. Sequence is important too. Clear, Restore, Install. Then do your PTFs.

Option 11 is not "restore" but install. I don't think you will get what
you want. You need to restore first (Your backed up data), and then do
option 11 to "upgrade".

Then when all that is done, you load the PTFs.

Hi,

I just spoke to IBM and that is what they are suggesting to do, clear
libraries QGPL and QUSRSYS, then do the GO LICPGM, Option 11 to restore
the libraries.

The reason I need to do this is so I can get the most current PTFs on the
system.

Thank you for the advice.




Thanx,

Nick

You don't want to do a SLIP install of the OS, because that won't cleanup
your problem with those two libraries.

The other box was at what release? If the same, you could go to a
restricted
state and clear those libraries and then restore the system. If it was a
prior release, you would also be able to clear the libraries, restore them
from your backup, and then do a GO LICPGM, take option 10, and the option
for QGPL& QUSRSYS will already have a 1 next to them, as they will be
backleveled. Then just upgrade them with your regular upgrade media. Then
reapply PTFs.

That should do you.

Pete

Hello everyone,

What does this do exactly?

I have an 810 at V5R4M0 and I clobbered QGPL and QUSRSYS, by restoring
from another box. I think I had ALWOBJDIF (*ALL), so all of the IBM files

got renamed to xxx0001, etc. and replaced with the the ones from tape.

I want to put the original QGPL and QUSRSYS back on. I have the original
CDs. I do no have a back up of the 810 prior to the restore. This is not

a Production box, but will be on Thanksgiving weekend.

Will I lose all of my TCP/IP configs, etc... if I do this?




Thanx,

Nick
