Lukas, how often are you having issues??

Usually every day. We have around 200 customer machines running
production workloads. Almost all of these machines are more-or-less
current hardware (Power5 and newer, V5R3 and newer).

And there's always something.

ÂYou could probably script
something as patrick has suggested. ÂIf you scripted it I would probably
want to run it against a test LPAR or test machine or something similiar to
get the (unknowns) worked out. ÂYou could download the image files to the
IFS, then add them to an image catalog, perform the ptf updates, then IPL.

I know i could do that - but i want to avoid it if i can.

This needs to be something that just works - a native, working
solution from IBM.

Well, as there apparently is no way to do this yet, i've submitted a DCR.
