RE: Remote IPL form telnet

Why. You installed PTFs (Cumulative, Hipers, other) on your system for all
the products you had installed at that moment in time. Now, you install new
products on your system, there might have been PTFs that would have been
installed if those products were on your system when you did the PTF
installation. This will then put them on, and everything is in sync.

If it was Windoz, you would have to reload your I_BASE_01 CD to add an
option !

You should reapply the cumulative PTF package, and Hipers as well as
their may have been PTFs for the new product that would have been
skipped when you initially put the Cumulative PTF and Hipers on.

Thanks Lukas.

Actually, I don't know if I need to IPL? I installed a couple of IBM
program product options - one shows *compatible the other *installed,
and there was no mention of needing to IPL that I noticed.

You mean pwrdwnsys restart(*yes)? That works flawlessly. But beware -
you won't notice if anything goes wrong during the IPL.

A good reason to buy a HMC - it allows you to do EVERYTHING from
wherever you are.
