When I'm doing just the HMC I usually just put the code on the IBM i and get it from there.

Yeah, me too. I seem to have difficulties sometimes trying to download from IBM's ftp site (finding it is the first trick).

Downloading the files to an FTP site inside your network works extremely
well.

I've used about all those options.
With my new HMC's I started out with new DVDs. Major upgrades I use flash
drives. For service packs and whatnot I've done via ftp directly from the
HMC.

Rob,
Thanks for links.
I'm planning on going to 8.8.2.0 SP1.
However, this will need to be a two step.
7.7.7.0 to 7.7.7.9 SP 1
7.7.7.9 SP1 to 8.8.2.0 SP1.
1) Which upgrade option do you use?
Iso images ; Ordering/using DVDs/CD ; Download Direct from IBM to HMC
2) Have you ever used flash drive for code updates?
Paul
