RE: how to have AS/400 console at home

Evan

I just loaded "Websphere Application Server" today and IBM actually gives
you the choice of using the cd on your /400 -or- using the cd on you pc!  I
used the option to load it via my local pc since it looked to be easier.
The install process is documented on the web at:

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/websphere/wsappserver/
docs/as400v35/docs/indexiic.html

If they can do it to load a new program product, they should be able to
figure out the process for PTF's.

I'd like to see an option to map a cd drive across a network so I could do
some of the hack work remotely - like for instance loading the 8 or 9 cds
required for a "simple" PTF upgrade.

Having to travel to operator-less sites just to shove CD's in a drive is a
drag.

Ops Nav doesn't cut it in the PTF level stakes and I have yet to find an
easy/bulletproof way of getting PTF's across to another machine from CD.
