Re: LIC Install - Valid Load Source Not Found

One more question, I hope the last one, in certain documents I've found
that the 6818 disk unit attaches to the 2748 raid controller (
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp0018.pdf and
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/as400/web/GA19548619c.pdf). Is this raid
controller mandatory? Will the 6818 disk unit work without it on 9406-170
or 9406-250 systems? Thank you in advance.

Yes, Any supported disk can be the load source in that machine so long as
it's in the top slot. The only except to that is if you have for example a
2G unit but try to load V5R3 that's not a large enough disk.

So the rule is:
1) In upper left slot.
2) Any supported disk.
3) Large enough to qualify as the load source for the O/S you are
loading.

That 'base disk' thing was just to differentiate what disk was
shipped in the machine from IBM for 'no additional charge' vs disk you
added later.

Can the top most unit be any disk unit from the list of supported disk
units? Or it must be specifically the base disk unit?

the base disk unit is the top most unit in the 4 bay cage on the 250.

Going through the specs and seeing that there are base, optional base

and
additional disk units. What is the difference between them? Does it
matter
where LIC will be installed?
