RE: Licensed Internal Code Incompatible

[c sl <ai_fans@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As far as i know from my seniors, they did that way numerous times in their years with iSeries, without encountering error, like this time.

That's why i wish to find out what are the relation between the external tape drive library manager and the V5R4 LIC cd, or other causes.

i didn't try the way that without the CD in drive.
