Re: Size of cume & groups

You can put them into another image catalog and use that after the Upgrade to apply the PTFs. No need to use OPT01, but you can if you'd like. Also if space is an issue you could delete the catalog used for the ugprade and then FTP in the PTF images.

The only way to have the PTFs applied 'at the same time' is to have them already present on the media used for the upgrade. This requires you to create distribution media from a system already at 7.1 with current PTFs. For most small shops this isn't an option because if they had a system at 7.1 already they would be done upgrading! :-)

In my reading about the image catalog, I have not seen where it is created
specifically on the load source. Is that internal?

After the upgrade is complete and PTFs are being applied, it looks, to me,
like those will be loaded from the optical drive, a 6331. Still, not
horrid.

Based on old installs, I had gotten the idea that the PTFs could also be
dumped into an image catalog and just get it all done at one time. Pays to
read closer.

John,

Remember there needs to be a bit more free space on the Load Source
disk as well in order to use an Image Catalog for the upgrade. I'm
thinking you'll be OK with Rob's 8G total but you wouldn't have made it
with the 56G! Also remember that's the Post upgrade PTFs!! The actual
upgrade media aren't in that total.

Very nice to know. I was beginning to think upgrading from v5r4 using an
image catalog would not be possible, due to the size you initially saw.
Wit 68 percent used out of 246.1G, that left 76.994. More than enough,
but
by the time I get to the upgrade, that could well change.

I definitely see the advantage of using a respin.
