Installing a new software release in the primary partition

 

The minimum memory required by the primary partition may change if you install a new i5/OS^® software release. A logical partition configuration error may occur if the minimum memory value is insufficient. Use iSeries™ Navigator to change the minimum and maximum memory value for each partition.

Note - SRC Error B600 5390: The recommended procedure for an upgrade is to power on the system DST after adding the new resources (memory and I/O expansion units specifically) and adjust partition memory minimum/current/maximums as necessary. A logical partition configuration error usually indicates that the partition to which you are installing does not have enough minimum memory to restart. To increase the minimum memory for the partition, re-configure the partition's memory using iSeries Navigator or the character-based interface. When re-configuring, the system will provide suggested memory minimums.
