Re: V7R1 to V7R3 OS upgrade from DSLO combined LPP/PTF imsage summary - success - no errors

I'm glad it appears to have gone well for you!

Now that image can be used as many times as you need it.

Think of the time you'll save on subsequent upgrades!

I just completed a test of V7R1 to V7R3 upgrade, using a combined DSLO
image containing most LLP (118), latest V7R3 CUM, all latest Groups, and
any other PTFs found from various links.
The image created with no errors.
The upgrade was also clean, no errors.
Image also contained all commands with changed defaults, prtf changes, all
license keys.
Only changes necessary after the upgrade, setting system values back to
original.

I opted to NOT delete LLP that are no longer supported prior to the
upgrade.
I wanted to test how the upgrade would handle them, no issues, only
warnings.
These LPP will be deleted afterwards.

R&D LPAR scheduled for this weekend.

Source DSLO system - client - P7 8205-E6C .2 CPU , 2 gb mem, 200gb NWS
from 10k spinny drives

If using InfoPrintServer - 5722IP1 - ensure PTF SI65184 perm applied.
The DSLO create will fail without this PTF.

Prepare license keys for keyed products:

The below was done to rid other errors that originally caused the DSLO
create to fail.
Run the following Check Object Integrity (CHKOBJITG) command to verify the
signatures of operating system objects that will cause the SAVSYS operation
to fail.
