Yes, the box will need to be down because the LIC is being upgraded.
Assuming nothing is running on the primary (as it shouldn't be), you
could just upgrade the LIC in the first pass and then do the OS and
LICPGM afterwards. Definitely not standard, but it would reduce
downtime a little (but perhaps not enough to be worth the effort!).

The primary just needs the LIC running for the other LPAR's to be up.
You could just bring it up to DST and run your system if you wanted I
believe.

You'll need to power down the secondary partitions before starting the
upgrade on the primary.

Subject: OS upgrade of primary partition

Folks,

Pardon my ignorance - been working on the new stuff too long to
remember.

I have an 820 that is at V5R3 on the primary and secondary partitions.
Going to be upgrading the primary to V5R4 from image catalogs and not
planning on powering-off the primary partition at any time, just
PWRDWNSYS with RESTART(*YES)

Will the OS upgrade affect the secondary partition, or will everything
be ok and it'll stay up and not have any problems?

Thanks in advance.

Justin
