RE: Upgrading main partition to V5R4 with 2nd partition staying at V5R2

Sherri,

Not sure where you heard that, but it is incorrect.

IBM supports 2 levels back.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rzait/rzaitreleasesupport.htm

If the primary partition is running V5R1 or later, you can install and run the following releases on
the secondary partitions, provided that each release is supported by the server model:

* The release before the release on the primary partition (P - 1)
* The release on the primary partition (P)
* The release after the release on the primary partition (P + 1)
* The second release after the release on the primary partition (P + 2)

HTH,

Subject: Upgrading main partition to V5R4 with 2nd partition staying at
V5R2


Hi, I was reading through documentation from IBM & it has been stated that
I can only be one release behind the main partition with the secondary
partition. Can I upgrade from V5R2 to V5R4M5 on main partition when the
secondary partition will be staying at V5R2 as it cannot be upgraded for
at least another month? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,Sherri
