Ok, That is what I thought but I was not sure I could do a SLIP
install with Image Catalog (Never did it that way)
Thanks

Subject: Re: Install (or rollback) to previous version of OS
You have no choice here but to boot an i 7.1 LIC optical media or
tape.
Of course it needs to be sufficiently new to run on POWER8. If you
download from IBM it will be new enough. If you have a tape that
contains SAVSYS from your POWER8 you can use that.
You will get an error that says 'Cannot install LIC over the current
LIC'. (Option 2 in on the install menu) This is because your only
choice is to completely scratch the partition and install new i 7.1
LIC since the system is currently at a higher level LIC. Once that's
installed you will add disks, and install the operating system.

No need to ask why I need to do this, trust me I need to do this.
I have a Power 8 with 4 partitions.
All partitions are currently running 7.2
Currently in the process of updating one partition to 7.3
Want to update one partition back to 7.1 (not even sure if this is
called update? rollback? downgrade?)
At one point in the past I had CD's for 7.1 but can't find them now.
I am under SWMA so I can get 7.1 from IBM (download from IBM web
site,
can't find a way to order 7.1 CD's).
My question is: What is the easiest way for me to install 7.1 on one
of the partitions running 7.2?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice
John
