Re: This package now requires the IBM i Open Source RPM environment.

So WAS, Domino, other traditional packages are updated with restricted state? Possible, maybe but a real PITA. Now your nitpicking.

We do things all the time where non-admin users are not on the system, but the majority of IBM i is running.

How well does your acs connection work when your system is in restricted state?

Let's say you put on a ptf dealing with time management. The special instructions say you have to end tcp and while tcp is down update the open source part. After that you can start tcp again.

Thank you.
There may be some details regarding this I may have to work out later. Like, do you update after you've IPLed after a ptf install but before anything starts? Is that a straight STRQSH command? Although something is tickling the back of my head that some of this stuff runs better from a putty session than qsHell or qp2term but putty on a dedicated system can be interesting...

I guess my main concern is updates. I'll be honest, I rarely look at PTF cover letters. I put on the cume's, groups, and 'recommended' ptf's and let it go at that.

I am not a sysadmin on any platform, so maybe my view is not as informed as, say, Jack's.

But it seems to me that administering open source on the i could be similar to what you're doing already. Just get into the habit of periodically issuing "yum update" (that one command updates all the yum-updateable packages on your system).

Administering PASE is, in my opinion, not as complicated as administering Linux. Mainly because there are far fewer choices, and the choices you do have are built and released by IBM. (That's not strictly true, but it's a close enough approximation for now.)
