  • 1.  V7R3 LIC installation on power 10 on NVMe

    Posted Sat January 24, 2026 04:31 AM

    HI

    I have to migrate the V7R3 full system partitionon Power9 to native partition on Power10 .

    Power10 got NVMe disks.

    I booted with USB latest V7R3 LIC available.

    created namespaces 200GB using macro. formatted as well. namespace is showing as DD001

    getting message following 

                                                                       
     Error:                                                            
         A device could not be selected to be the load source.         
                                                                       
         Return to Dedicated Service Tools and run diagnostics         
         to determine why a device could not be selected.              
         Correct the problem and install the Licensed Internal Code    
         again.                                                        
                                                                       
         request help     

    Regards,

    Isaac

    Hello, I believe IBM Power-10 does support IBMi OS version V7R3 with correct TR level. I suggest you should go through with the below link before proceeding.

    Hi. Thats correct. You cannot migrate a v7R3 to POWER10 without first updating the LIC to the correct resave and having the corresponding TR installed.

    You need to perform a LIC SLIP install in POWER9 (plus PTFS & TR) to ensure the proper LIC resave before booting on POWER10 hardware. 

    One more thing: All POWER10 models support V7R3 (with the appropriate LIC resave) except the 9028-21B (S1012) which does not support that version at all.

    Regards

    Hello,

    Thanks for the response. The load source disk was on different adapter. Assigned the correct adapter. it is working fine.
