Re: Upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4 this weekend

You need to read to documents - one is the Memo to Users and make sure you don't have a show-stopper. 2. There are explicit pre-install planning docs to go through, which lead you though how to prepare a machine, including the pre-ptfs that are INCREDIBLY important (can u say crash & restore whole system from backup?). Plan on spending hours getting "ready". 
Have you done a release upgrade in the V5 days?
There are way too many variations on machines, products, lpars, x-series, etc for us to point you thru this - you gotta follow the IBM path, as boring as it is... 
Ask questions if you don't understand the docs.
Should be a "Start Here...: page with the cd's.

and I would not be running a release update during the hours in the Sun am
time shift.

Subject: Upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4 this weekend



A few questions.

First, is this a good idea for this weekend considering the time change?

Second, I was reading some other threads and I kept seeing "pre-upgrade
PTFs". What is this referring to?
Third, I have CDs, can I load them in as Image Catalogs? If so, how do I do 
it? Is it as simple as "QSYS/ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(V54RUPG) FROMDEV(OPT01)" ?
