You don't have to actually run the update until you have an LPAR that you know won't be backed out to the lower level. But I'm still surprised about your problem, because we've always updated the templates as we were getting ready to IPL our first sharing LPAR in the past. And I'm pretty sure we did the 1.6 templates when IPLing on a weekend for an initial test and then backed off to z/OS 1.4 without any problems. As far as your particular problem... did you try and STEPLIB to the 1.5 level of IRRUT400?
