Hello Jim,

The other question I have is with the BOOTP server going away, how is a network installation going to be done, only from the HMC? A question to ponder in the next year.

I guess IBM gets rid of bootp/dhcp/radius/DNS server because these are commonly parts of MS Active Directory servers which function as central authority in many companies. At least here in Germany.

I'm pretty sure network installations can be done without HMC, because HMC is yet another Linux with standard components and some customizations. The hardest part is probably the initial obtaining of a 5250 console to support installation.

Diego Kesselman did some research and documentation in late 2020 about image catalogs and backup/restore which might help the case.
