Re: Power7+ with 7.1/TR6 USB ?

You could always make a distribution media on the usb device with go
licpgm op40... kinda overkill but if you go around installing machines
might be worth it (unless you use the new nfs installation option).
In any case, SAVSYS is the only thing needed to be able to do an IPL from D

Keeping in mind that a SAVSYS is NOT equal to a full system save,

and will a SAVSYS fit in 32GB?
If so, has anyone actually done one and, if so, how long did it take to
boot from it?
Compared to how long your experience is with other forms of bootable media
(which is how long for what?)?

I think that's what the OP is asking.

I take it that 32GB limitation is a limitation published by IBM and it's
not a limitation solely of current USB media?

Just remember the limit to save is 32GB on the USB attached devices.

Has anyone used this to boot from, as an ALT-IPL device. So you can do a
straight savsys to it, what device model does it show up as/emulate.
