RE: 820-2395 to 820-2435 V5R1 or V5R2?

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mary Jo,

It's Friday evening, you shouldn't be hiding under your desk.  I don't
know where you got the impression that you could not run V5R1 or V5R2 on
a #2395 processor, but this is not true.  There are some particular
cards which are not supported, but the processor itself is just fine and
will support both V5 releases.

I hope that some salesperson did not convince your firm to upgrade
because of processor incompatibility with the new releases.  There are
some limitations on partitioning that are not present with the new
processor, but nothing about the processor which would prevent you from
upgrading before a hardware upgrade.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
