Re: Upgrade V6 with latest patches vs V7

It took me about 1/4 the time to install V7 than it did to install V6, despite that V7 was on CDs, and V6 was on DVD. And that's not counting the time it took to install all of the patches for V6 (which took me almost an entire business day!).

I would definitely recommend that you download and install V7 instead.

I am a newbie in the WDS world and I am trying to catch up with the "billion patches and drivers" I have to apply to keep my V6 up-to-date. IBM recommended me to download the patches because if I do it naturally through RPU it will take forever to finalize and install all. As a result, I downloaded all what is required and I have them in 2 DVDs. However, it still takes forever to install.
