Re: HMC network install of V7R1 i5OS from DSLO image catalog, including all PTFs

[Jack Kingsley <iseriesflorida@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, I have not heard of doing this before so I was researching this.  A
DSLO image isn't this the intended upgrade path for just the HMC??  Might
you be looking for a ISO image(s) to do your I5/os install.  I am trying to
find support for DSLO images to install LIC/OS.
