RE: POWER6 now or later?

Thanks, Rob. 

So you can download and install PTFs, etc, remotely? For the OS as well
as the HMC software? And you can reboot it (or whatever you have to do
to activate the program changes) and trust it to come up running so you
can access it remotely again in a few minutes? 

How long have you been on V7? (I think the 570 MMA requires V7R3)

With V7 of HMC code (and after initial configuration) I've never had to 
physically access the device.  However, just today I had to hike into
the 
machine room to access the stupid twinax console on a 270 we have.  (God
I 
hate 5250.)
