Upgrades to POWER6

Well, take note then that our 520 to E4A upgrade was the smoothest we've
had in 10 years. Ditto for our V5R3 to V5R4 OS upgrade. Not a single
user issue for either upgrade.

We did the upgrade in May and it was so seamless that I find myself
taken aback sometimes when I'm reminded of it.

Aaron,

I cannot help you, but I have to say something.

I am NOT looking forward to the day when my company needs to replace the
520
with Power i equipment. The amount of trouble people like you and Lukas
and
Pete had and are having getting new machines set up and running gives me
the
willies. I want simplicity, not this new complexity being introduced.

Just my $.02.

I am now in section "Initial IBM i OS configuration" (

Upon first logging in with QSECOFR/QSECOFR it requires you to change

the

QSECOFR password. No issue, I did that and proceeded to the next step

of

putting the system into manual mode, was prompted by the DST logon

prompt,

and I entered QSECOFR and the *new* password. Well, it didn't take

the new

password, so I tried QSECOFR as the password - no go. And now it is
telling
me "Id disabled" when I try to log in. When I do an F1 on that

message to

get more info it just takes me to the help for the screen, so I don't

even

have a message id to do a search on to see how to resolve the issue.

This

is the only page I could find, but it requires that I am able to log

in to

DST to enable a DST profile - thanks IBM:
