RE: V5R2 to V5R3 upgrade using an Image Catalog

That would likely work, but I'd still like to try using the Image
Catalog.  I'm hoping to be able to use it for our upcoming Prod upgrade.

Thanks,

Scott

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
...?
