Is the Load source drive only used for the system or
does it contain user data as well? Seem to recall
from years ago a CE told me that what's on the
load source drive is only system stuff.
Myth?

Take the option and it will allow you to do the immediate (which almost
always still requires an IPL, albeit a much shorter one) or to create the
space at the next IPL. If it does not need space it will tell you.
Rob, you're tending to over complicate the problem. It's really very
simple.
Is the load source 70GB or bigger in native size? Check, looks to be a
140.
Is there sufficient space on the load source? Check Looks like the space
is there.
Create the space for LIC. (requires an IPL)
Now do the rest of the planning.

Jim,
<snip>
Go to licpgm menu and take option 5. Then the last option in the menu to
provide the LIC space.

I am sure that Justin is following directions. He did find the note about
load source size.
However, are the directions telling you to do that again? For awhile they
were telling you to do it manually. I wonder if these were temp
instructions while waiting for a PTF to update the option to check load
source size?

You have to understand menus and GUI's were so last decade. The command
line is king now. Just look at how much you have to do at the command
line
in "Enhanced" HMC now.

Justin:
As I pointed out the 70GB drive minimum is really just a hard number they
came up with because at the time, it was the smallest drive sold.
What you really need is sufficient space on that load source drive to add
the LIC space that will be needed. So if your load source drive is a 70GB
drive, and you have 20% of space available on it, you should be good to
go.
Go to licpgm menu and take option 5. Then the last option in the menu to
provide the LIC space.

So that 70 GB requirement is for temp space, not permanently allocated
space?
WRKDSKSTS shows 139594 M for each unit.
