Rob,
Sorry for the typo.
Can USB/Flash, (containing at least I_BASE01, or the entire DSLO image) drive be an alternate restart device?.
My current DSLO image is 20gb, one single image called I_BASE_01, but includes all of i5/OS, and PTFs.
That would be a nice recovery plan.
Paul

I have the space on my R&D LPAR, but that wouldn't help the Production LPAR.
Years ago, I did a HMC network install from an image stored on a different LPAR, (remote virtual optical and VLAN were the worse config issues) It was ugly, but finally got it to work.
I don't know if I'd want that option in a critical situation.

I normally burn a new copy every time IBM issues a new respin and replace my vault copy.
Why? Oh, if we buy a division (been a LONG time) and they have an IBM i and I want to upgrade them to the current release. Or some fellow from my LUG says "anyone have V... lying around?"
If I have the space I may even keep them loaded into virtual image. Well, just versions I'm currently running. One of those "we're loading this package and they require this option loaded..." just in case situations.
Again, if I have the space.

Any reason to keep the V7R1 DSLO combined image containing I_BASE_01, all of i5/OS and all PTFs, as of 3/1/14?
Thank You
