Bill,

The fact that your HMC is on an isolated network doesn't mean that the LPAR
can't get to your PC.  Two different considerations.

Tom Butler already told you how to find the HMC icon you're looking for.  If
that still isn't an option, then unlabeled tape will work.  Rob van der Heij
wrote a document on how to write the 3 starter files to disk so that you can
IPL without using a tape, though.  Take a look at

Subject: Installing Red Hat 7.2 on an LPAR?


After downloading Redhat 7.2 onto my workstation and reading the doc, I
decided to to an FTP install.
At the HMC, I discover it is on an isolated network segment, and cannot (and
will never) see my PC.

Plan B: install from CD-ROM. But the doc refers to a "Load from CDROM or
Server" icon on the HMC - and there is no such thing.

Plan C: ? tape?

Any other alternatives?

TIA

When they took the fourth amendment,
   I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs!
When they took the sixth amendment,
   I was quiet because, I was innocent.
When they took the second amendment,
   I was quiet because I didn't own a gun!
Now they've taken the first amendment,
   and I can say (or do) nothing about it.
The Second Amendment is in place in case they ignore the others.
