RE: how boot new partition from image catalog?

Example 7: Installing a New Release of the Operating System.

PWRDWNSYS RESTART(*YES) IPLSRC(*IMGCLG) IMGCLG(MYCAT1)

This command causes the system to end and then start installing a
new release of the operating system from the image catalog MYCAT1.

I did not have that manual.. Very good. Answers questions I had on setting up the ethernet connection of the partition.

like

to install V7R3 in that partition. When I use option 1=power on in
the "work with partition status" screen the IPL fails with B200 4158.

I am expecting to be able to IPL from an image catalog. Can I do that?

Have a trial version of V7R3. Downloaded as a set of .UDF files.
Added the I_BASE .UDF file to an image catalog. Can I boot and
install from

that?

CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(V7R3BASE) DIR('/home/v7r3') CRTDIR(*NO) ADDIMGCLGE

I question if I am even setting up the image catalog correctly. Got
this error on the VFYIMGCLG comand when I used the TYPE(*UPGRADE) option:

VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(V7R3BASE) TYPE(*UPGRADE) Volume I_BASE_01 added to
optical device.
Volume I_BASE_01 added to optical device.
Required file for the operating system not found.
Required image for type *UPGRADE not found in catalog V7R3BASE.
Reason code 2.
Verification for image catalog V7R3BASE failed.
