After recovering a server, we lost the image of our Test Client Partition. Short answer on why, it was a playground and SOMEONE (looking in mirror) forgot to make sure it was backed up.

I'm trying to perform a scratch install of V7R4.

The notes/instructions I have say I need to stick I-BASE into the physical DVD drive to load LIC, etc.

Since I'm 70 miles away from the server, is there a way to boot from an image catalog on the host?

I"m using an HMC for the config.

Gavin Inman.
