Re: Power6-Power7 Save 21 reload issue

After looking at this, this doesn't really break down all the different
RSE's that you can have per server or am i missing something.

Subject: Power6-Power7 Save 21 reload issue

Just letting those know this from what I found out.  I was under the
impression that if I had the latest CUME and group PTF's that I would
not
have an issue loading a new POWER7 box from tape via 01D-IPL.  I did and
it
bombs off with a B6080801.  After 3 hours on the phone with support I
have
found out that my RSE level is to old on the power6 side to support the
reload on power7.  I don't have the time to migrate the old power6 box
to a
level that the power7 needs nor the time to re-create the 21 save tape.
I
was told I have 2 options since the box was pre-shipped from IBM, boot
in
manual mode and load up the current CUME etc on it, then reipl and load
os
or just boot and load the os.  I am taking the first option.  I wasn't
aware
that the RSE-levels were going to be an issue and had not really thought
about it nor researched it that it might be.  Posting this in case
someone
else has a project like this and then get(s) stuck like I have.
