It's recognizing that your current system is V7R2 and you can't use that LIC
on this system.
I can't research it now but you can get past this, by manually entering the
needed files in the IFS.
More in the AM.

Subject: RE: Install (or rollback) to previous version of OS
Larry,
OK, I have downloaded the latest version of 7.1 from the IBM site.
It is now stored in a Image Catalog on Virtual Partition #2
I want to install this 7.1 onto an existing Virtual Partition #2 currently
running 7.2
I have two questions
Question #1
When I run the "verify catalog" it fails with:
Message ID . . . . . . : CPDBC1E Severity . . . . . . . : 30
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic
Date sent . . . . . . : 12/20/18 Time sent . . . . . . :
18:56:44
Message . . . . : Verification of image catalog V7R1M0 failed with
reason
code 3.
Cause . . . . . : Verification for image catalog V7R1M0 type
*UPGRADE failed
with reason code 3. The reason codes and their meanings are as
follows:
01 - The load source disk unit must have at least 2000 megabytes (MB) of
free
storage space to install from an image catalog (virtual device).
02 - Installation of the release requires additional allocation of space for
Licensed Internal Code.
03 - The Licensed Internal code media is not supported for installation over
the current version, release, and modification that is installed.
What am I missing
Question #2
How do I get the partition #2 to IPL from the Image Catalog?
Thanks
John

You have no choice here but to boot an i 7.1 LIC optical media or tape.
Of course it needs to be sufficiently new to run on POWER8. If you download
from IBM it will be new enough. If you have a tape that contains SAVSYS from
your POWER8 you can use that.
You will get an error that says 'Cannot install LIC over the current LIC'.
(Option 2 in on the install menu) This is because your only choice is to
completely scratch the partition and install new i 7.1 LIC since the system
is currently at a higher level LIC. Once that's installed you will add
disks, and install the operating system.

No need to ask why I need to do this, trust me I need to do this.
I have a Power 8 with 4 partitions.
All partitions are currently running 7.2
Currently in the process of updating one partition to 7.3
Want to update one partition back to 7.1 (not even sure if this is
called update? rollback? downgrade?)
At one point in the past I had CD's for 7.1 but can't find them now.
I am under SWMA so I can get 7.1 from IBM (download from IBM web
site,
can't find a way to order 7.1 CD's).
My question is: What is the easiest way for me to install 7.1 on one
of the partitions running 7.2?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice
John
