Re: V4R4-V4R5 Upgrade

["John Taylor" <john.taylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Problem has been resolved!

The credit goes to Jim Franz, who suggested that there might have been a
problem with the device name on the console. Our machine had QDEVNAMING set
to *S36, which resulted in a console name of  "W1".  For some reason, the
V4R5 installation process does not like this at all.

I powered off the console, changed QDEVNAMING to *NORMAL, deleted device
description "W1", and turned the console back on. Auto-configuration
assigned the name "DSP01" to the console. I ran the installation procedure
again, and everything is proceeding smoothly now.

Thank's to everyone who offered suggestions.
