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

I would reorder it. Because you need to make sure you have the correct
respin of the B2924_01 (that's the US English version of i5/OS) which is the
-30 which comes as part of the reorder. Here is a slide from one of my
presentations on How to do Successful i5/OS upgrades, which I just did at
COMMON.

I_BASE_01 - Version Resave Identifier

Rob/Pete,

Thanks for the confirmation.

One more question, if one already had the v5r4m0 CDs. To get v5r4m5, do you
have to re-order/download
the complete set, or can you just download the I_BASE_01 Licensed Internal
Code for i5/OS ( + others?)
CD image?


Thanks!

The i5/OS level of V5R4M5 is V5R4, so there is no problem going from V5R2
to
V5R4M5 of SLIC (5722-999). In fact, I would recommend going to V5R4M5,
this
way if you decide to go to a Power6 box, you are set.

When upgrading from V5R4 from v5R2, don't forget that when you increase
the
size of the Lic area, you MUST use the API to increase it, vs. going using
Increase License storage space under GO LICPGM option 5.

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.

Re: Encrypted Data to File






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?

- Michael
