Re: Upgrade w/o the wizard to 6.5.4 -- DOMINO400

Robert's correct about it being 14. Your other steps look good to me. I 
generally just download the SAVF from Passport to my PC then FTP them 
around to my iSeries boxes. Also, I switch around steps 4 and 5. You can 
restore the LICPGMs with the servers still up (at least it worked for me 
on multiple occasions). However, was it 6.5.1 or 6.5.0 that allowed 
multi-versioning? If that's not supported until 6.5.1 then you will have 
to update them all at once.

Also, if you want to upgrade just one server at a time (when you have a 
multi-versioning supported level) you can end it and do the UPDDOMSVR 
SERVERNAME and then restart it. If you have a slower box, then you may 
want to just take one down and update it, bring it back online, then 
update the next one. Or you can do UPDDOMSVR *ALL.
