Re: Applying TR5

Sure can! If fact that's hands down the best way. You can have the 5250 console up right next to the SRC codes displayed by the HMC graphical interface. It's how I do it and most everyone I know that has an HMC...... VPN into the HMC and your done.

Hmmm. Can you monitor this all remotely via the HMC? I am a complete
neophyte when it comes to that modern marvel, but it seems this could
all be done remotely. I'd probably load up the images while I was
onsite, but it would be nice to kick off the upgrade for the development
partition on a Saturday morning when it's not being used. And then I
can get an idea for how long the production partition might take.
