Re : Restoring a V5R1 machine back to V4R4

Linda,

We tried this and ran into problems. We restored a V4R4 full save onto a
machine that had been at V5R1. We then tried to upgrade this back to V5R1
as a test. The upgrade kept failing with SRC B600 0103. We eventually
completely reinitilaised all disks, reloaded the V4R4 save and then
upgraded with no problem. This particular machine was a secondary
partition, so I'm not sure if that had something to do with it. (We didn't
touch the primary partition at all during this process).

We have 2 machines, one we are moving off site for disaster recovery. This
machine is at V5R1. Because we have some issues with the other machine we
can not upgrade it to V5R1 just yet. So They want to do a full restore on
the V5R1 machine back to V4R4. Is this possible? and if so what needs to be
done?

TIA
Linda
