Re: Upgrading R&D LPAR from V6R1 to V7R1 TR7

Well that's an official IBM distribution method Just the same as getting
PTFs.

Be sure to use IMGBURN or something that will deal with I_BASE_01 being in
udf format.

I;m pretty sure you can also order the media in the same place (when you
specify delivery method for your software download order)

I'm not sure why you asked about avoiding the BP if you didn't really want
the answer.

didn't burn it right.

Customer: "I'm getting a message that the console isn't there when I IPL"
IBM: "Try an IBM generated disk instead"

Customer: "I'm getting a message that a PTF didn't apply right"
IBM: "Try an IBM generated disk instead"

Customer: "There's smoke coming out the back of the unit and the room
temperature is rising"
IBM: "Try an IBM generated disk instead"

Customer: "The install failed because of my database cross reference
files are corrupt"
IBM: "What resave level is printed on the disk right under..."?

You should be able to get it via Entitled Software Support presuming you
have access to that.

Under "Software Downloads" you can download the operating system including
the latest LIC image.

If you don't have access to this you may have to ask the BP to authorise
you to it. You will need to have an IBM ID and provide the email address
of
that ID to your BP.

They can add/update you through Manage Customer Numbers->Manage
Auithorizations

I guess they would to give you access to Electronic Software Delivery
(ESD)

Is there a way to order the resave on media without having to involve

your

BP? I've no problem with our BP, I just sometimes like the ease of
ordering stuff online.
