After reading the Guide for Automated Installation and Service, I had decided on using the Second-Level DVD Installation method from VM Minidisk. Although, after making a simple calculation, I realized that it would take me about 80 hours to upload all the DVD files to the First-Level minidisk. Given that my 3270 emulation program (Extra) does not support file lists, I decided to abandon this idea. Since we do not have an FTP server attached to our VM systems I thought that a First-Level DVD Installation from the HMC would make more sense. My goal would be to install first-level and then test second-level. I am not certain as to whether or not this sounds reasonable and if there is some who would provide some guidance as to how this could be accomplished. Pointing out a manual reference would be most helpful but any and all suggestions are welcomed.
