Yes. I had an AS/400 disk with too many grown defects. I imaged it with sg_utils and transferred the content back to an identical disk. It booted flawlessly...

RE: Getting an ibm as/400

I agree little point in imaging. First step: password guess; try logging in to account QSECOFR password QSECOFR; you may luck out and find it is the default. If that fails do a DST IPL (Google it) and use the DST QSECOFR account (NOT the same as the system QSECOFR account!) to reset the system

Get the SLIC cd (or tape), and do a D-mode manual IPL. Reinstall (DO NOT select the option to install and initialize). This is generally referred to as "slipping the LIC". You can re-install it without trashing the OS. That'll get you into DST, where you can reset the password. What version

Even if your time is expired (there are some hacks to avoid this...) you can log into the system as user QSECOFR through the console (terminal 0 on twinax line 0). For an hobbyistic use sometimes it's enough...

Re: Getting an ibm as/400

Hi Devin, I myself have several hobbyist machines, and I know a few other people who do. The 70 day timebomb is set by the OS and the different software packages you install. So, let's say, you install the OS, the development tools and Client Access. Each of them will have their own 70 day time

Re: Getting an ibm as/400

I called in again yesterday night, still not ready to pick up though. The guy assured me the drives were being wiped not removed, which is good. How does the whold 70 day licence thing work. Is that a specific limitation to os/400 or built into the hardware of the machine itself?
