Re: Updating a 270 from V5R2 to V5R4

[Bryan Dietz <bdietz400@xxxxxxxxx>]

Couple of points.

1. as stated before you need a 17gb or larger load source for v5r4
	yours is an 8gb drive(1)

b. You can get to a larger load source(35gb) if you save/restore the 
system and move the drives around.  Since you have three empty slots 
maybe you add some more 35gb drives.
