Re: CISC to RISC - why user data restore before LIC PGMS?

[Sclind2 <Sclind2@xxxxxxx>]

Al - 

Now it makes more sense what IBM is having done here.  I will have the
*production* userdata, our vendor products, and our CISC LPP's on the machine
before I install the RISC LPP's.  (We have done exactly what you mentioned -
deleted S36 and S38 features, etc on the CISC system).

But it is not feasible for us the rent all the disk we would need to have the
RISC and CISC systems contain the same data.  So while I am following the
roadmap otherwise, this is technically a deviation.  I will also be limited in
not always being able to use a Enhanced Upgrade Assistant option, for example,
using EUA to restore the system.  Instead of having it perform a RSTLIB
*NONSYS, I will have to perform a RSTLIB *IBM followed by a RSTLIB (list of
libraries). 

I have spoken to IBM (through our Support Center contract), and the person
there assured me what I'm doing should be no problem.  But I'm always wary of
that response given so easily. 

Any comments?  Is this workable, or headed for certain disaster?
