You mean IPL-ing from an image catalog on NFS instead of image
catalogs on local storage ?

Came this close to using NFS to distribute PTFs between my various lpars
and machines this week.  Couldn't quite get it to work so I opened up a
pmr.  Turns out that it can't go out over hardware currently in use.  For
example if you are using CMN01 for your regular TCP/IP communications
(let's say line LANLINE) you cannot have LANLINE varied on when using it.
So you either have to vary the line off (really unpopular when people are
using it) or use another resource.  Apparently virtual lan is really
popular for inter lpar communications and is one solution that people are
using.  IBM admitted that the inability to share a resource is one big
bummer in adoption of this method.

Those of you using NFS for this, am I off base here?
