Re: V5R1 Upgrade

[bdietz@xxxxxx]

Joe,  Certainly order the latest CUMe package.  Sending ofr that will get
you the latest HIPERS and DB group.
If you need other groups, ie HTTP ect.  definatly order them.  Here is the
list of v5r1 group ptf's

I would take the GO LICPGM option 5 to make sure the software on the 400
matches the software on the CD, pluse it gives you a chance to add new
software and have it installed during the upgrade.

If your system console is supposed to be ops console I would make sure that
works BEFORE you attempt the upgrade.
Is the dumb terminal the device you use to perform dedicated system work,
like a system save option 21??
There is a section of the install guide that deals with the Ops Console.
Here is some reading:

Keep the manual handy:

If all goes smooth make sure you have a good book to
read......zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

1. C2134510?  Isn't that like, May of 2002?  I guess I should immediately
order more PTFs, eh?  And group PTFs, too, right?  And maybe have them on
hand BEFORE I begin the upgrade?

2. I don't use Operations Console.  My machine thinks it does.  It always
gives me an A900 error while its running, because it's just not happy with
my dumb terminal console.  Could this cause a problem during upgrade?
