Re: V5R4 Upgrade 2 different I_BASE_01 CDs?

My guess is that the 'B' was on the shelf as part of a prepackaged item 
and the 'C' is new and will be a separate item until supplies of the older 
prepackaged sets are gone. As Justin mentioned, just use the higher one in 
this case.

Note for others: On V5R3 there are 2 levels of LIC, V5R3M0 and V5R3M5. 
V5R3M5 will work on the last generation of 8xx (like an 810) and is 
required on the 520plus systems or if you want to IPL directly from a SAN.

V5R4 Upgrade 2 different  I_BASE_01 CDs?







I just received the media for our V5R3 to V5R4 upgrade.  Checking the
media labels contents list it shows the first CD should be I_BASE_01
Licensed Internal Code for i5/OS.  The media I received has two such
CDs.

 

The first one is marked:  I_BASE_01

System_i5

i5/OS

5722-SS1 R04M00

Licensed Machine Code RS 540-B

I_BASE_01

 

The second one is marked:  I_BASE_01

System i5

i5/OS

R04M00

Licensed Machine C'd RS 540-C

MFG ID: M0039

I_BASE_01

 

What's up with the two slightly different CDs when the documentation on
IBM's iSeries Information Center, Version 5 Release 4 only lists one?
