RE: Error CPA3DE1 during OS upgrade

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

I_BASE is always first.  Which is what should have been first during your 
last OS upgrade attempt.  Use the image catalog and restart the GO LICPGM, 
5, 1.  How to use an image catalog is outlined in the software 
installation manual.
Basic steps are something like
CRTDEVOPT DEVD(OPTVRT01) RSRCNAME(*VRT)
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(OPTVRT01) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)
MD DIR('/imageCatalog')
CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(VSOMETHING) DIR('/imageCatalog/vsomething')
Stick I_BASE cd in drive
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(VSOMETHING) FROMDEV(OPT01) TOFILE(*GEN)
repeat for each physical cd in the order referred to in the manual.  Do 
NOT do the cume.
LODIMGCLG VSOMETHING OPTVRT01
GO LICPGM
5, 1
VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(VSOMETHING) SORT(*YES)
Start your upgrade and go home and monitor it remotely from your HMC.  No 
need to be there and physically feed it discs.  No worry that you'll be 3 
discs into the upgrade and find out it's damaged.

Cume:
LODIMGCLG VSOMETHING OPTION(*UNLOAD)
CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(CUME) DIR('imageCatalog/cume')
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLGE(CUME) ...
Repeat as necessary.
LODIMGCLG CUME OPTVRT01
VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(CUME) TYPE(*PTF) SORT(*YES)
GO PTF, 8
LODIMGCLG CUME OPTION(*UNLOAD)
