I did a V5R4 -> V6R1 upgrade from home last weekend using Citrix and the
HMC remote console.
6 hours pre-backup to Opt. 21 after using image catalogs for the upgrade
and PTFs.

Subject: LAN Console upgrade
I was reading a Pete Massiello post on facebook about doing an upgrade
via lan console. Can't you do the whole upgrade remotely?
On the side I have someone with a new 520 they just installed to migrate
Domino to i from Windows. They are also using lan console. I've got
them on 6.1 with latest ptf's. However when it's time to upgrade to the
next release I'd like to do that entirely remotely. This is why...
After getting some other stuff on it they will be moving it to some
concrete bunker like server center where they normally aren't allowed
in. Some big names use this facility also. The only people on site are
armed guards.
We have SNDPTFORD scheduled to run weekly for the cume and all groups.
PWRDWNSYS scheduled once a month with a restart.
Backups, well that's a whole other story...
