RE: catching up from TR6 on 7.1

Power 7, 1 core, 12Gb memory, 16 DASD units, about 45 minutes today (twice,
two different partitions)

As Larry points out, remember to permanently apply all the PTFs on 5770999
and 5770SS1. Some of them in SS1 may not apply due to some co-req/pre-req
for permanent application but don't worry about it. Just apply over the
top and it should be good.

These two partitions were also at TR6. System handled all the IPLs, (about
3) without intervention.

To take a SWAG at time frame you'll need to give us some idea of available
system capacity.

A Power7 with 40 SSDs, 4 cores, and 128GB of memory will 'somewhat'
outperform a one core Power5 with 1GB memory and two 4319s mirrored :-)

Today I did pretty much that very update on a POWER6 one core, 8GB memory,
16 disk units. Total time for all the PTFs was about two hours including
perm apply of the previous PTFs.

Pro* Need to catch up a system at 7.1 TR6 C3037710 I've been briefly
through the psp, but looking for actual experiences of whether issues
jumping multiple cumes and TR's. Need to plan the outage time. Will
certainly install the pre-reqs as notes in the psp.
Before the TR's I wouldn't even ask about just cumes, but some posts
this year have me wondering.
