Answer:
The statement in Memo To Users (MTU) does appear to be somewhat confusing.
Also, it is only in reference to Operations Console and not to the entire
IBM i Access for Windows product. If you are using Operations Console,
then there are some things to be aware of. Here are some suggestions
depending on the current configuration:
1. If you are not using Operations Console, none of this applies. You can
continue to upgrade your client PCs first as you always have.

2. If you are already using a LAN attached Operations Console, it is
recommended you upgrade your client PCs to 7.1 IBM i Access for Windows
before upgrading the server OS to 7.1. See section:
Prerequisite information for LAN attached Operations Console users
upgrading to, or installing, i 7.1 (MTU p. 3)

3. If you are using a direct attach (async) Operations Console, it is
recommended you switch to a LAN attached Operations Console before
upgrading either the client to 7.1 IBM i Access for Windows or the server
OS to 7.1. See section:
Operations Console directly attached to the system is not supported in i
7.1 (MTU p. 5)

subject: V7R1 i Access - install first

All,

If I read the V7R1 MTU correctly, it suggests to install V7R1 i Access on
the IBM i before installing V7R1 of the OS.

I have always installed the new version of i Access _on all the PC's_ prior
to installing the new version of the OS on the i, but unless my memory is
failing, I don't think I've installed the newer version of i Access on the
IBM i prior to the install. Does everybody else do this?

The i Access Installation and Setup guide says I should install all the
following at that time:
5770-SS1 option 12
5770-XE1 base
5770-XW1 base,1
5770-TC1

All of the above prior to the OS install. Really? Does that work?

Thanks.
