Re: V5R2 to V5R3 upgrade using an Image Catalog

Hi:

I ran into more or less the same problem when upgrading a model 170 at Red
Rocks Community College back in October of 2004.

Here is what I did to "work around" this problem ...

I did the install of the SLIC from the I_BASE_01 CD, and then loaded the
OS/400 from the first few CDs... up through the loading of QGPL and QUSRSYS.
Then, I IPLed, and once up and running under V5R3, I was then able to GO
LICPGM and continue the installation of all of the rest of the optional
parts of OS/400 and the other various LPPs from the virtual optical device
(image catalog).

That is not really a "fix" but a "circumvention" but this might help ...?

Regards,

Mark S. Waterbury

Subject: V5R2 to V5R3 upgrade using an Image Catalog



Hi All -

I am attempting to use an Image Catalog to upgrade our 170 (test system)
from V5R2 to V5R3.  After the Image Catalog IPL I see the LIC
decompression SRC's (C6xx41DC), then what appears to be an IPL (C1xx
xxxx SRC's), then the system hangs at C6004001 (Static Paging) with no
attention light.  I never see the LIC install SRC's (C6xx41CC).

I have applied the Image Catalog support PTF (SI10563), allocated the
additional space for the new LIC and accepted all of the software
agreements.

SupportLine told me to remove QHLPSYS from the system library list, but
I did that and the same thing happened again.  Today they have me
applying HIPER PTF's for Virtual Media support, but other than that we
are fairly current on PTF's.

We are at C04244520 and the following group levels:

PTF Group Level Text
SF99519 112 GROUP HIPER
SF99502 16 DB2 UDB FOR ISERIES
SF99271 19 WebSphere App Server - Express V5.0
SF99172 3 IBM Business Solutions
SF99169 18 JAVA PTF GROUP
SF99098 16 IBM HTTP SERVER FOR ISERIES
SF99085 14 520 BACKUP RECOVERY SOLUTIONS

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
