RSA was the very first version of V4R2.
RSC would be the third time they respun V4R5
7.1 is already on resave S.
There are a number of reasons for resaves. Currently the two biggest
reasons are: New TR's, and new hardware support. IBM swore on a stack of
bibles that they were done with new TR's for 7.1. However they did issue
a new resave of 7.1 for some new hardware. Resave R was for TR11, the
last one. Resave S was for some new hardware.
Let's say V4R2 came out before the 270. Now let's say it didn't support
the 270 until resave E. Can you see why resave C might be an issue?
Disclaimer: I do not know at what levels certain hardware were added to
support on certain levels of OS based on resaves. My comments about the
270 were solely for example uses.
People burn themselves all the time. They quickly order the newest
version of the OS and leave it on the shelf for 3 years as the project
gets delayed. Then they don't order a new resave, thinking the new cume
will save them. Well if you can't boot this latest hardware on the old
DVD it gets really hard to put a ptf on.
Even though I'm on the latest OS I order the final resave and cume at the
end of life for an old version and shelve it. For possible mergers and
acquisitions.
