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

Somewhere in the charts for the 570 series you should be able to find if
the older 570 supports the V5R3M5 level of the LIC.  If it does, I believe
you can do the LIC upgrade on the source machine and simplify the migration
(simple save/restore procedure per the Backup and Recovery Guide).  If the
source machine doesn't support the newer LIC, then the migration won't be
quite as simple... it will probably require the set of procedures that deal
more with upgrading the hardware and the OS at the same time.  I ran into
this with a 800 to 520+ upgrade this year.

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need to install a newer version of the V5R3 SLIC and Base OS before the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.
