Re: AS/400e 170 IPL failure

Thanks for the links, Rob.

It sounds like I need to bump into one of those people, in the pub
(physical or virtual). I guess I'd need to find the PTFs, too.

I'm now wondering (re the "toast" machine) whether it would be safe to
D from the LIC CD, get to DST, stop the array with missing drives and
power off. If I could do that without harming the current
installation, that might let me IPL and photographically recover the
keys for that machine too.

I'm a little hesitant, though as the last thing I want to do is
inadvertently erase the keys!

I know people who keep old copies of the OS on CD. Let's say for quick

If you have the keys photographed but you don't have any other access to
the system. Try to find some v5r2 installation media and just break the
entire machine. Install from 0 and you'll have a v5r2 machine up and
running. It's a nice learning experience, but if you don't have the media
it'll be difficult.

Best Regards,

Roberto

Sounds to me like what you really have is one functioning 170, and one
source of spare 170 parts.

Which, if you think about it, is not a bad combination.
