RE: Remote upgrade of iSeries

I would recommend opening a session on the HMC of the system on the
local network and using a shared session from the remote location.  This
way, if you lose remote network connectivity you won't lose console -
just link back up to the shared session.

I have used "virtual media" to do upgrades.  I also have had wonderful
experiences using the remote access to HMC to upgrade boxes.  However,
never have I done it without someone in close proximity.  I suppose I
could, but in your case you'd better have a "what if" plan.

Remote upgrade of iSeries






Hello everyone,

Has anyone been involved in version/release upgrade from a central site
to
a remote site.  The company I work for is contemplating doing this for 
some
of our customers.



Sincerely,


Bill Swann
