I have a small stand-alone iSeries that is currently at 7.1. It was LPARed
via SST and I think the LPARing was messed up because it has been dog slow
ever since the LPAR was created. Since I don't need the LPAR, I have tried
to remove the configuration but have been unsuccessful. I would like to
just wipe the system clean and then load 7.3. One of my major holdups is
how to get the .udf files that I downloaded onto DVDs so I can load them in
the drive.

I did system admin stuff YEARS ago and I really don't remember anything.
Can someone provide instructions or links on how to do this?

Thanks in advance.
