I have been given the hypothetical question of how could a single
partition Power 7 IBMi at V7R3 server with NO HMC and NO BRMS be recovered
remotely ?
As USB is not supported on Power 7 as an alternate IPL device that is
ruled out.
If I put the I-BASE01 DVD in the DVD drive. I could initiate a D IPL and
start a system install but I am not sure if I can get the system with ONLY
the I-BASE01 to a operational level where I could then copy the remaining
installation DVD images to a image catalogue or not ?
System does have internal LTO tape so I could do a SAVSYS to tape and
leave the tape in the drive. Only one problem is the SAVSYS will eject
the tape at then end and I don't know how to stop this ?
Please do not ask about how the issue occurred or how the failure of
hardware was resolved without manual intervention, as I said this is
hypothetical!!!
Any suggestions ?
Thank you
Don
