Re: Image Catalog Upgrade

We use image catalogs all tie time.  I have never seen them hang, although
they do use a lot of disk spece.  This is referred to as the SPENDMONEY
command.

All -

I'm looking for someone who has had experience with upgrading from an
Image catalog. (I was doing a V5R2 - V5R3 upgrade.)  The system was at
C4244520 with all of the required Image Catalog and upgrade PTF's (per
SupportLine.)

It appeared to me that having multiple image catalogs on the system
caused the LIC install to hang.  I had the LIC and O/S in image catalog
UPGRADE05.  I also had image catalogs CUMULATIVE and GROUPPTFS.  The
command entered was: PWRDWNSYS OPTION(*IMMED) RESTART(*YES)
IPLSRC(*IMGCLG) IMGCLG(UPGRADE05)

After the LIC installs hung at srcC6004001 (three times) I would IPL and
find image catalog UPGRADE05 unloaded from OPTVRT01 and either
CUMULATIVE or GROUPPTFS loaded.  After deleting image catalogs
CUMULATIVE and GROUPPTFS the LIC install completed successfully and
continued with the O/S install.

Is this a "normal" behavior?
