When going from V5R4M0 to V5R4M5 you have to do more than just slip the LIC.
You also have to do the base of i5/OS, and a few optional components of
i5/OS (see my posts 2 or 3 months ago in the archives). I have done more of
these than I can count, and you have to make sure that you have the correct
respin (resave) of the B2924_01 CD which would be -30 in this case to go
along with the 545 I_BASE_01 CD for this to all work correctly.

Subject: Re: Questions on V5R4M5 Upgrade
I was under the impression this was nothing more that a machine code update
so V5R4 would work with Power6 hardware. Install would basically consist of
a slip load with the V5R4M5 disk, nothing near a full upgrade process. This
information is second hand from IBM so I could be slightly off.
Nevertheless, I would also be interested to learn about any possible
"gotchas" with respect to V5R4M5.

Subject: Questions on V5R4M5 Upgrade
We just ordered V5R4M5. Our business partner said this could be a nasty
upgrade. Might just want us to pay him to do it?
Has anyone upgraded to this release and if so, how did it go. What should we
be looking out for?
Thanks,
