Re: CUME level V5R1

[barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

C2036510 is the current CUMe, and my last two efforts to install this PTF
CUMe level, with hypers and groups has consistently failed. It needed a
second IPL, because some of the pre-reques/co-reques were improperly coded.

And IBM ask's me why I'm not recommending V5R1 (unless you have a valid
business reason to go to it,  a valid reason includes new function and/or
new models)!  If IBM plans to add lots of function to a release, they have
to support it properly.

IBM needs to get the software straight.  Screw hypers and groups, get thiis
stuff into the CUMes.  Two points:
   IBM claims that more frequent CUMes are too expensive.
   Al claims that the reason that you pay a premium for an AS/400 (really
   almost no one in the world knows that it's now called the iSeries) is
   because software screw-ups like this should not exist.

For IBM people (blind) copied on this note, I do have an open PMR from
Tuesday night for this on one system.  When we found it on the second
system, we just re-ipled.

IBM needs to just fix this!
