Subject  . . EXTREME EMERGENCY! - FSIOP DEAD AFTER V4R5 UPGRADE                 
        

Hi 

I screwed up big time!  I upgraded 0S400 to v4r5m0 last night.  I 
didn't realize that this release doesn't support the OS/2 version of 
the LAN server FSIOP.  (CRTNWSD  TYPE(*LANSERVER))  I've got the 2850 
file server IOA. 
                                  

I have backup copies of the data using the SAV DEV(&IFSDEV) 
OBJ(('/QLANSRV/NWS/SERVER01/DSK')) method.  This command just backs up 
the storage spaces and doesn't allow you to restore files just the 
entire space. 
What are my choices? 

1. Degrade from OS400 V4r5 to v4r4?  What kind of problems will this 
cause? 

2. Find someone with a similar configurationto mine before I upgraded 
and get the files restored? 
3. Find another job? 


Thanx, PLA
