Re: V4R4-V4R5 Upgrade

Hi James,

That one may yet come back to haunt them. It appears that you can't install
an operating system upgrade when that SRC is displayed. Like your customer,
I was able to IPL, and sign-on to the system, but I couldn't proceed with
the O/S upgrade until the problem was rectified. As it was, I was running
V4R4 on top of V4R5 LIC for a few hours. And yes, the machine was
complaining about it quite strongly. :)
