Evan,

Good idea.
I will consider adding the NWS vary on to QSTRUP.

Hi Paul

I used to always set the *NWS to Online at IPL *NO as my observations indicated that it always took longer doing it that way; much more competition for resources I guess.

I added the vary on into my startup program (or for a few i did it manually where is made sense) which worked much better and I could manipulate the order of the LPARS is wanted active to make the more important ones available first.

1) RPC not working on V7R3
Resolution:
IBM created PTF MF64720 to resolve the issue.

2) 5770SS1 29 Integrated Server Support failed to install.

I had 5 NWS, which I varied off prior to the PWRDWNSYS DELAY(60)
RESTART(*YES) IPLSRC(*IMGCLG) IMGCLG(V7R3OSPTF).
These varied on automatically, causing option 29 install to fail.
What I forgot to do is set these to *NO on IPL
Online at IPL . . . . . . . . . . : *YES (should have been set to *NO
just for the upgrade)
Resolution:
Varied them off.
RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5770SS1) DEV(OPTVRT01) OPTION(29)

3) VIP DocManager not working.

OS upgrade changed public authority from *USE to *EXCLUDE for system
object QPMLPMGT. This object is used to confirm license product information.

Resolution:

Changed public authority to *USE for system object QPMLPMGT.



4) Spoolfiles being emailed were being rotated.

This should have been included as part of customization but was overlooked.

Resolution:

CHGPRTF *all/all q libraries Degree of page rotation . . . . *AUTO

V7R3 Default was *DEVD.



Other than the above,

Smooth upgrade using combined V7R3OSPTF DSLO image, single image
called I_BASE_01.

All license keys and customization was included as part of the image.



Total time - 4 hours.



Save prior - 1 hour.

Upgrade - 45 minutes.

Upgrade check, resolution fixes, few remaining PTFs, IPL, - 1hour.

Save after - 1 hour.

Thank You
