The simplest way is for your business partner to bring you media. If they are very good said media will already contain all the PTFs to date already applied. At the least will bring the current PTF media set with them as well. It will with near certainty be virtual media as nobody has the time to burn tens of billions of pits into plastic any more.

Personally I think downloading the media from IBM is a pain, I've told them so, and I'm not going to rehash that here.

Perhaps they need to engage a different vendor for the upgrade than for their software. MANY (though not all) software BPs are just not skilled in O/S upgrades and maintenance.

How does one obtain the physical media for V7R2?

Computer Guidance Corporation (a subsidiary of Explorer Software) has
outdone themselves again. They announced that they are forcing customers to
upgrade, and then gave their customers a list of files to download, unzip,
and ftp.

One of those customers spent over 30 hours with the downloads of the OS,
including junk they don't need.
