In addition to using a tape image catalog and a virtual tape device to install PTF fixes or single licensed programs, you can now also use these to perform an i5/OS software upgrade. Changes for this capability are shown throughout this topic collection.

Sometime after v5r4, I think as early as v6.1, but certainly by v7.1, IBM added the capability to load the operating system using virtual tape. This allows you to reload without having to touch the system. I never did it, but when they added virtual tape and virtual optical to the box around v5r4, I used that to install PTF's and licensed programs on remote boxes. The promise was that remote system load was on the way using the same mechanism. You might want to check into that on the midrange-l list.

Our current development is on
v5r4... our current production is on v7r1. I have a v6r1 box I want to
rebuild as a v7r2. And I have learned that we own the boxes out right.
I was told the only way to upgrade was to go to the box and place hands
on upon it to get a successful rebuild.
