Actually, I think when you order the cume via FTP it also comes with the
hiper and database group. Ordering that way also gets rid of the chicken
and egg argument.
From the file ilstCUME.txt in my download:

Then I just load this image catalog all at once.
I order all groups and put them into a different image catalog. I used to
pick and choose applicable groups but now I just order them all for my
version of OS. With multiple lpar's running different products and God
knows how many times we add a product after we put on the cume and groups
and now have to reinstall them. Having the latest already downloaded
makes it really easy to reapply.
