Upgrade from v5r2 to v5r4m5 (was RE: Encrypted Data to File)

Rob,

Do you by chance know if you can upgrade from v5r2 to v5r4m5?

Or can you only go as far as v5r4m0?

No. -Providing- you pass any questions in the V5R4 MTU and the V6R1 MTU
on hardware, I'd upgrade the 550 from V5R3 straight to V6R1 and bypass the
V5R4M5 stuff.

Since we're getting new hardware, I'd still need to do the V5R3 to
V5R4M5 upgrade on the 550, then the V5R4M6 to V6R1 upgrade on the new
Power6 box, right?

Hi Rob -

Thanks for the heads up. Our BP is talking with the Ops manager right
now. I'm pretty sure they're talking about new hardware. So I'll need
to upgrade from V5R3 to V5R4M5 on the existing 550, and then upgrade
to the (I assume) whatever Power6 box running V6R1?
