Re: V4R3 upgrade (HH)

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

What do you mean by "no supported upgrade path"?
1)  Financially
2)  Technically
3)  Both

Technically it can be done, even if it is not supported.  As the one 
responder pointed out.  However, as I advised others, placing your family 
jewels into ibm's palms and then telling them that you upgraded to V5R2 
and the OS is going to expire in 70 days is not the most favorable way to 
conduct negotiations.  Did you get Proof Of Entitlements (POE's) from 
these inherited machines?  Were they still under software maintenance but 
the people just never got around to upgrading the os?

I've run into an interesting situation. We have inherited a couple of 
unsupported boxes running V4R3. I need them to be upgraded up to V5R1 - 
legally, of course. The IBM site says there is no "supported" upgrade 
path, 
so I may have to seek third party solutions. Any ideas on how to do this 
without blowing my budget for the year?
