Re: LAN Console upgrade

I think the thread is talking about migrating one system to another as well
as converting from like V5.4 to V6.1.

I haven't found a way to retrieve the t5 connection LAN console settings or
an API to get them either. I am sure that a new system would not have it's
service tools device ID's enabled either and this is a requirement to use
LAN console, example: seeing the front gui panel remotely etc.

Service Tools User ID's, Service Tools Device ID's and Configure Service
Tools Lan Adapter settings/values I don't think are very portable between
machines and not very easily able to get values back about them.

I'm comfortable with HMC. LAN console I'm a little rusty at. Need to
study if there's a chicken and egg issue about level of Op's console
needed vs level of i, how to upgrade Op's console remotely, etc.

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.

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...
