Re: SLIC/OS Levels for POWER5 to POWER5+ Upgrade

To o to Power 5+, they must be running V5R3M5 of SLIC, which cannot be
PTFed from V5R3M0 of SLIC.  Reloading SLIC is not a huge deal, but it does
entail about an hour of down time.

Hi,
I have a customer who is planning to upgrade from a POWER5 570 to a POWER5+

570.  They are currently running V5R3 and I'm trying to understand if they
need to install a newer version of the V5R3 SLIC and Base OS before the
hardware upgrade takes place.  There is reference to this in one of the
V5R4
Hardware Announcement PDFs but I'm trying to confirm if this is indeed the
case.  The PDF refers to a feature code of #2692 (V5R3 Refresh) which must
be ordered as part of the upgrade.  Has anyone gone through this process?
Thanks,
Dean.
