RE: System upgrade problem

There is your problem. The person doing the restore didn't understand what gets restored in each step. You should have done a D-Mode IPL with the I_BASE_01 CD only if your tape couldn't be an Alternate IPL Device. In this case, the CD is the Alternate IPL device, and the tape drive becomes the Alternative Installation Device once you get to DST. Then you restore everything from your alternative installation device, and you get everything the way it is supposed to be.

Did you do the install from the SAVSYS or from the I_BASE_01 and other DVDs?

Subject: System upgrade problem

Hello everyone,



We just did a system upgrade over the weekend with the assistance of our business partner. We from a 520 on power 5 to a power 6 8203 EA4. After everything was install and restore to the new box. We found that some commands were missing from QSYS, for example the FTP, QSH, CPYTOPCD. We had to duplicate them from there product libraries into QSYS. Does anyone know why this need to be done.





Thank you,


Bill Swann
