Would V5R3 allow for a smoother upgrade (espcially with the 17 GB load
source requirement)?  Doesn't V5R3 support SPD?  I thought V5R3 was the
last release to do do.  Don't have a book handy to look it up.

Subject: SPD Cards During Upgrade to V5R4

Hi everyone,

We've got a 9406-820 that's running V5R2, and we're planning to migrate
to a 9406-520 running V5R4. We'd like to do this in two stages: 1)
upgrade the 9406-820 to V5R4, then 2) migrate over to the 9406-520 a
couple of weeks later.

The 9406-820 has a 5035 expansion tower with SPD cards, and IBM says
that those cards are not supported for V5R4. Our quesion is, will they
still work? According to IBM, the code is still there, so we're thinking
they probably will, but we're wondering if anyone else out there has
experience with this.

Has anyone done this, or do you have theories about whether it
should/should not work?

Thanks very much,
