I think by locally attached they mean are you connected to the network via
VPN remotely (vs. being on-site where the iSeries is hosted).
I've seen it take 6 hours on installs to remote clients in China or India
for example. 1 Hours is unusually. Usually for VPN connections it's about
20 minutes on average from my experience.
Locally it should take 1 or 2 minutes.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] R78 Client Install
Hello All,
I have been working to install the R78 Client software. The process is
part of the R78 Install/upgrade procedure announced and made available
in June. The green screen server installation and upgrade to PCM 09955
went pretty well. I have not tried the data migration yet.
I am struggling with the Client Install. The last time I ran the Client
install, it ran for over 8 hours before it failed. I am being told by
Infor the install will "run for a long time unless I have a locally
attached PC." I'm not sure what is meant by "locally attached PC". I am
installing to an iSeries Model 570.
The main reason I have been given for the installation length of time is
due to the large amount of data being transferred and installed on the
IFS. I am also being told bandwidth and network latency are also
contributing to the length of time required. From my previous
experiences and tracking the installation, I can see what has been
installed. Unfortunately, I can't see the finish line. It sounds like
the good-old "This may take some time" message.
Because of the change in the installation process, the install must be
done from a PC. You cannot insert an install CD/DVD into the iSeries and
install from there.
Has anyone experienced the same lengths-of-time associated to the
installation? Are there any suggestions I can try to help with the
process?
Thank You,
