Re: Power6-Power7 Save 21 reload issue

Then based on all this I don't understand IBM support telling me my respin
level wasn't high enough to load from on the power7 hardware. Unless I was
to do the slip route to get it there on the power6 I couldn't boot from the
current sping level that was on the tape. I did all the recent CUME, groups
etc a week ago prior to my 21 save, all show installed via wrkptfgrp.

Now that's a handy answer.

I'll pick the 7.1 tab. See that "Resave Marker Level PTF"?
I do a DSPPTF and my highest RE* ptf under 5770999 is RE10084. That says
I am running respin RS 710-A aka GA (or General Availability). Under
5770SS1 I have no RS* ones and my highest AP* one is AP10070 so that
means
I am running RS 710-00

I understand re-spin - it was the RSE I missed.

I'm still curious as to how to get a given level of system up to the
next level if applying cumes and groups as you did is not sufficient.
Unless you missed the last cume and didn't have the technology refresh
PTF installed.

Given any standalone system, how would I establish what spin level of
lic is currently running on it ?

Evan, respin is what version of lic levels your running.

Yes respins, Kirk can break down what the -C and -10 are, looks like
revision C?? Is there a website that says how you can migrate systems
based
on RSE levels. From what I was told I had 3 options to choose from, I
choose the route that would take the least amount of time. Intermixing
power hardware and hmc controlled/non hmc controlled systems seems to
be a
mix'n'match currently on if it will work or not.

RSE is a short way to say RS-610-E being Respin V6R1 rev E

Looks like from the Link posted earlier
http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/i/planning/resave/index.html

LIC respins are Alpha and SS1 are Numeric
V7R1 is currently at -C and -10
V6R1M1 is currently at -D and -10
V6R1M0 is currently at -G and -10

Haven't heard the term RSE to describe a respin either - what does
it
stand for ? Are you sure they are the same thing ?

Respins or resaves of the OS. Certain hardware may require that
the
LIC
be a certain level before installation. Oh, it still may be 7.1,
but
it
may have more PTF's built into it.

Also some "technology refresh" ptf's are very comprehensive and
IBM
sometimes generates a new respin to allow you to get an
installation
done
without really having to step through some strange hoops.

Even with a new resave you should apply the latest cume and the
latest
applicable groups.

I always use the latest resave from:
