They are BOTH "D". THe secret is to REMOVE the SAVE 21 tape that you just did from the tape drive and load the SLIC CD Before you IPL to "D". (don't ask how I know this) The system will waste 5 minutes of your time searching the empty drive for a tape and then fall back to the CD automatically.

When upgrading from to V4R5 on a Model 170 what is the correct procedure for
performing and IPL D operation such that the CDROM drive is used for the IPL
and not the tape drive? The tape drive and the CDROM both exist on Bus 1 so
there is no opportunity to designate the CDROM as an alternate IPl device
within DST.
