Follow the Software Installation manual. It is very clear re: pre-req PTFs and any other tasks that should be performed before the upgrade. Check with your hardware/software supplier (IBM) for any additional PTFs.

Do a proper audit of the V5.1 system and resolve any problems before the upgrade:
1. Licensed programs that can be deleted
2. PTFs that have not been applied
3. Licensed program problems
4. Etc.

I have a list of pre-req tasks and let me know if you would like a copy.

I also do a RCLSTG and RCLDLO before the upgrade. My policy is that I want to know the exact status of the system before any upgrade.

Best regards

JohnDavid
