RE: V5R4

["Ketzes, Larry" <Larry.Ketzes@xxxxxxx>]

I hope this question comes across as intended.  If using the virtual method
of installing an OS upgrade, is it wise to load the cd's to one partition,
then copy that load to other iSeries servers or should a new install from
cd's in advance of the upgrade occur for each separate iSeries. 


Thanks, Larry

Debbie,

I have loaded PTFs and  upgraded to V5R3 utilizing the image catalog.  I
like it because it can be unattended, and is faster than loading a CD,
waiting for the i5 to ask for the next CD, etc.  It does not take much
setup, and so I would call it easy.

Good Luck!
