RE: i5 OS upgrade - from V7R1 to V7R2

Justin,

That has always been the issue.
I'm sure the upgrade will be fine.
My V6R1 to V7R1 was almost issue free, I even used the automatic upgrade option, just sit and watch.

Waiting for the 3rd party vendors, and usually their products will require an upgrade as a pre-req.
Like I said, the list is huge, 30+.
Would it be acceptable to list the 3rd party products which are V7R2 certified in the midrange discussion group?
I'm looking at 2nd and 3rd quarter of next year, at the earliest.

Paul

Start making those third-party calls now - still quite a few who haven't "certified" on the OS.

Upgrade is pretty painless compared to some previous releases.

I've started the planning for our next i5 OS upgrade, V7R1 to V7R2.
Current hardware - P7 8205-E6C-740, 3573 LTO5 HH FC tape library.
From a hardware standpoint, I believe all is good.

From a software standpoint, as usual, some unknowns.
I've reviewed the V7R2 memo to users.
On the surface, I don't see any "gotchas"

I haven't notified our 3rd party products (list is 30+ products) for
V7R2 certification.
Any known issues or gotchas for those who have been pioneers?

Paul.
