Re: Can I do file transfer from/to vios with vterm?

How would you be doing the scratch install? If you are using the HMC you
already have a base interface configured. I usually document my VIOS so I
can rebuild them with a script instead of a backup. Going back to your
point. I guess you could do an echo CONTENT > file.ext but I haven't tested
it and it wouldn't have any validation that you didn't lose anything in the
way...

Let's say I do a viosbr on an lpar of vios.
Then I scratch it and reinstall an upgraded version of vios.
How do I get that viosbr file on it so that I can do a restore?
I'm trying to see if there is a way without having to configure up
communications.
To get a console I use putty to get into the hmc, fire up vtmenu and go
through that to get a vios console.
IDK if there is some sort of implied connection between the HMC and the
vios lpar I can transfer that restore file from.
