Re: Wipe and load an iSeries

Depending on the Type/Model of the machine, the fastest way would be to use
the ASMI and just clear the entire hypervisor config, which would destroy
the LPARing. After that it would be a simple reload from scratch.
I can't remember a machine that is able to run 7.1 and doesn't have ASMI.
Do you not have an HMC?

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.
