Re: 7.1 upgrade media - two sets of I-Base and B_Group discs

[Jim Essinger <dilbernator@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

I am going through the same thing.  I have an original order of 7.1 media,
and a respin of the the same thing.  I have always seen duplicate disks
from IBM, usually I get double of everything.

Does your I_BASE_01  disk show the following?:

IBM i
5770SS1 R01M00
Licensed Machine Code RS 710-F
I_BASE_01

The first set of disks I have the 710-B version, I believe this refers to
the ReSave of 7.1 with the technology refresh already applied.  I believe
that version F is the latest.  At least that is what was sent when I asked
my VAR to order the ReSave of the install disks.

HTH

Jim
