Re: 7.1 - Slipping LIC for Respin H

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you have TR6 on this partition already plus current Cume, Hiper and 
DB (plus likely others.) ???

If you do there is no need to slip in Respin H to that partition (or for 
that matter Respin J which comes out 11/15.)

Understand that the point of the Respin is two fold:

1) To provide install capable media that will boot up and correctly 
operate on newer hardware such as the 8202-E4D Power 7+ 720.
	- This is because the hardware is newer than the previous re-spins and 
so IBM releases media with code updated to support the new hardware.
2) To reduce the time it takes to do an install of a new partition from 
IBM Media.
	- This is because many PTFs are already applied by IBM to the LIC and 
the base O/S and thus you don't need to spend your time installing them.

SO if you already HAVE all those PTFs in place, especially the current 
TR, you don't need to Slip the LIC, you are just re-doing some of those 
PTFs in a different way and then reloading other afterword!
