Re: Getting ready for 6.1.1 to 7.2 upgrade

[Tom <tomh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, so we're good on our drives (and I WON'T turn off raid, didn't want to
anyway).

So... how do I allocate the load source space?

And is there a list of the required PTFs I need to have installed before getting
started on the upgrade?  I found a copied a some pages from the IBM help site,
looking for guidance from those of you who've done it.

Thanks,
TomH
