Re: V4R4 to V5R1

I did a V4R4 to V5R1 upgrade two weeks ago, no problems at all. The only
thing was we had a lot of spool files and the first IPL straight after the
OS install took 4.5 hours just doing spool initialisation, which in my
opinion was not properly documented in the memo to users. I believe the
same issue would occur with V4R5 to V5R1 as well though. We're also a BP
and plan on a V4R4 to V5R1 direct upgrade for a further dozen or customer
machines.

Thanks

I have a client that is being told by another BP that they don't recommend
going from V4R4 directly to V5R1, "there are issues" and they are
suggesting upgrade to v4r5 then to v5r1.

I work for an IBM premier business partner and have done several V4R4 to
V5R1 upgrades without any hitches.  There is no good reason to not perform
this upgrade.
