All true Rob.why?
Additionally, How will you power it on? A single partition machine
will drop with an error code if there is no OS (at least LIC) , there
is no standby like there would be with an HMC.
Could it be done, maybe with smart PDUs etc. the better question is
A used HMC is only several hundred and might actually make it doable.to
Tape would have to be loaded in the drive, or a tape library available
(TS3100 library is about $500 on the open market, plus tape unit).
Who/when is going to swap tapes? Cloud recovery? Sure give me a month
move the data.--
The parameters are not realistic. You have to have a way to control
power, mount tapes, and have a console.

you'd need something which could take control of some remote PC at
that site which was the LAN Console.
I would check your end of tape options SAVSYS DEV(MYTAPE)
ENDOPT(*REWIND) Or were abbreviating GO SAVE, option 21 as SAVSYS
(which is a very bad habit)? If so, then maybe there's some way to
change the defaults on
too. However I cannot recall the last time I used that.https://www.google.com/maps/search/2505+Dekko+Drive?entry=gmail&source
I would tend to avoid the DVD as that can get rather dated and would
be missing PTF's.

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
remotely ?ONLY
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
the I-BASE01 to a operational level where I could then copy theMSD
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
