RE: Remote upgrade of iSeries

Wow you flip CD's during an upgrade?  I've heard my grandfather talk about 
that...
No, just kidding.  I always use virtual media, even on local upgrades. 
Know how fun it is to be halfway into an upgrade just to find the 10th CD 
is bad?  You just don't have that problem with virtual media.
You're right, it might take a huge pipe to distribute them remotely. 
However you could have a monkey load the CD's for you at the remote site 
while you execute the commands to add the image catalogs into virtual 
media - ahead of time.  Then when you do the upgrade you're ready to rock 
and roll.
