18 Responses to IBM i 7.3 I have to tip my hat to the Rochester IBM i Development team for another rock solid release. During the beta program, I performed numerous upgrades from 7.1 and 7.2 to 7.3, and all were successful. I went through upgrades on physical partitions, hosted partitions, and partitions from which we hosted other partitions, and all were flawless. Pete Massiello President, itech Solutions
