Yes, I am loading the image catalog right now. I hope to do most of
this upgrade remotely.
Both of my B_GROUP1_01 and B_GROUP2_02 discs also show RS 710-10. The
only difference I see is the feature code referenced on the packing
slip.

I don't know why IBM duplicates the disks, but I have seen it many
times.
Also - B_GROUP1_01 shows a RS 710-10 for it's version. All the other
disks show the same versions between the two sets. Only use one set.
Are you going to use an image catalog to do the update?

Bob,
I am going through the same thing. I have an original order of 7.1
media, and a respin of the the same thing. I have always seen
duplicate disks from IBM, usually I get double of >everything.
Does your I_BASE_01 disk show the following?:
IBM i
5770SS1 R01M00
Licensed Machine Code RS 710-F
I_BASE_01
The first set of disks I have the 710-B version, I believe this
refers
to the ReSave of 7.1 with the technology refresh already applied. I
believe that version F is the latest. At least that is >what was
sent
when I asked my VAR to order the ReSave of the install disks.

I am preparing for our 7.1 upgrade and going through the discs
that
I
received at the end of November, and I have what appears to be two
sets of the same thing:
The first set has:
I_Base_01
B_Group_01 thru 05
And the second set:
I_Base_01
B_Group_01 thru 02
The only difference I can see between these two sets of DVDs is on
the
packing lists:
For the B_Group DVDs, the first set shows on the packing list,
feature
code 5817 and the second is feature code 6284.
For the I_Base DVDs, the first packing list reads I_Base_01
licensed machine code, and the second one reads V7R1 Standard and
keyed media.
The both show feature code 5870. Other than that, the physical
DVDs themselves are labeled exactly the same.
Does anyone know what the difference is? Is it an error/duplicate
shipment? Or is the first set the base code, then the second set
licensed programs? If that's the case, do I load all of them into
the
same image catalog, or do I need two different image catalogs
then?
Please be gentle with me - it's been over 4 years since I did our
6.1
upgrade!
Thanks
