RE: V5R2 to V5R3 upgrade using an Image Catalog

["Ingvaldson, Scott" <SIngvaldson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
...?

Regards,
