RE: New Power 8

Jim,What are you loading with the TFTP/NFS server on your PC? I was under the impression the Network Install required an IBM i to host the NFS image catalog.

If you look you'll find all the DVDs for the LIC (called I_BASE) and the 5
group DVDs which contain 90% of what you'll need. Most of those DVDs are
for Web Enablement (and useless).

If the system was preloaded, the partition is set up to take the entire box,
if that's what you want go for it, however if you are going to partition the
system you'll wind up blowing that partition away and building all anew.
(read: lots of time formatting DASD units) Because I really dislike the
way IBM builds the preloaded partition, (no PTFS btw) I always start from
scratch anyway.

If you understand how the system does it's remote boot (BOOTP), you can get
away with using your PC as the TFTP/NFS server to build it from images
there, but it take some tinkering to get it working.

And that's compressed :)

My V7R3 download took about 12 hours.

Chris,

Same thing when I got my new system, but there were a few OS CDs as
well (I had to use them to install node). But now I'm on V7R3 and I
just have images of the CDs instead of physical ones. No biggie.
