RE: V7R2 upgrade SRC

Step 5 of the install sat on 30% for five hours then went to 90% for about 30 minutes.  The earlier steps and the steps after step 5 completed in what I would consider a normal amount of time.  I've done three similar upgrades this week and C900 2950 completed in minutes.  IBM is still researching the issue and I'll post any updates.

Well that's not tiny for sure.  I don't see any references to what you mention for THIS SRC but if you are correct that it's doing that then that changes perspective completely on how long it will take. On a system with 8000 libraries, I would expect "Some Minutes." :-)

How long did it take??

I found a Google item saying this SRC was for converting the database cross-reference files(which are HUGE on this system) but that was around the V5R1 time frame, not sure if that step still happens at V7R2.  All external storage, DS8870, with 4 dedicated processors and 64G memory.

I would think issues could be failed cache battery or drive slowing down the install or possibly sadly insufficient resource but I would expect you to be in any of those positions.
