Re: OLD OS upgrade -- MIDRANGE-L

Worse than that, nothing that old is up on ESS for download any longer.

Now IF the customer HAS SWMA (how unlikely is THAT!?) they could get keys for the release. Without SWMA they have two strikes, no software AND No keys.

I'm not sure you can get the keys. I would try to get those for V5R3
before you even try to download the software. You get keys at the same
site which would allow you to download the software:

Here is where you can double check to see if that model support V5R2:

Thanks, Jim.
I'll check if the client is entitled.

Fix central never had the software, only fixes. You need to get the
software from Entitled System Services (ESS). There you can download the
software, and get keys, but, you must be entitled to them.

Is this even possible anymore?

It's been quite a while since I did an OS upgrade.

What would be needed to upgrade v5r2 to v5r3? Where would I get it?
Fix Central has cumes but not whole OS, right?
