Yes these are the correct steps but you did miss step 5. Save of all IBM data (GO Save 22) or a full system save (Save 21).

No changes to the System values, network attributes, IP configuration etc etc.

Dr, would the steps for that be:
1. IPL from CD (the updated one)
2. Slip install LIC code (option 1)
3. Once the LIC has IPLed, Install OS from media (either catalog, nfs or
cd, but in any case, the B29xx_01 or equivalent, updated to the same lvl as
the LIC)
4. Once THAT is done, install ptfs.

Is that right? Does the refreshing of the OS affect any setting or system
value?

best regards,

Generally when you go this way you slip in a new copy of the LIC and IBM
also directs to install a a refreshed base O/S so that it has at least
the minimum level of PTFs in order to work with the updated LIC. After
this you'll do PTFs to bring both up to current.

Ok I found IBM documentation for SLIP install of the LIC...

Also found some for SLIP install of the OS...

Do I need to worry about the OS?

While I have been successful getting PTFs installed, Roberto is right
about the I_BASE, it might be best to plan on a slip install.

To avoid that, apply TR3 first, then TR5 and then TR6. There are PTFs in
those that expand the space needed to store PTFs. Better to slip
install the LIC in the end.

You might also consider permanently applying the current PTFs first too.

Charles,
I tried to get a TR0 7.1 machine up to TR6 with IBM supplied acum dvd
images. Fails miserably with "not enough space on lic disk" (even
though
they are 146gb disks and attempting to reserve more for lic code doesnt
work).
Only solution? Get an update I_BASE dvd and do a slip of the new LIC.
THEN
install the acum and ptf groups. It will shave a lot of time from the
installation.
Best Regards

I'm not sure I'm in the "Don't worry about the 'Not Installed'"
category, since that usually means PTFs are missing. Ordinarily
just
re-applying the cumulative will fix that but it's not something I
like
to leave for very long. You will never know if everything is
working as
it should without all of the PTFs installed. Installing a new LPP
is
one way to get that condition, but there are other ways too, and I
don't
like the untidiness of leaving them uninstalled.

Larry's correct about read the cover letter for TR6, there is a PTF
for
the double IPL's but to be safe I'd plan on watching this one.
Also
it's going to take Larry's "some minutes" (meaning lots) to
install.
Plan and extra couple of hours.
