Re: Load source space for V7R3

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of my friends in the i space is an educator. They had a Power6 at 
their school. Was upgrading to i 7.2 and Power7. They called the 
Business partner and asked which sequence is best. Partner said: "Do the 
O/S upgrade first that way you'll be ready for the new system!"  So they 
started into the upgrade and after the LIC rebooted things seemed, well, 
'incomplete'. They had lost all disks except the CEC (those are SAS). So 
he calls me: "Any way to get those disks back?" "Nope" I said "Gone like 
a 59 Cadillac." Then I hear him holler across the room: "Bob! Better get 
the backup tapes!"
