Dominic and I do all our installs on a multiLPAR system from 1 LPAR, populate it, harden it, etc and then whip it into application readiness. Then it serves as a model from which we copy to other lpars. Something like that. We're mandated to do our installs from 1 LPAR. David

We have only one FTP server hosting installation sources for all our LPARs. Fresh installations are always done in the LPAR that contains the FTP server. By telling me that the installer does not support 802.1q, you are confirming what I was suspecting. Maybe we should put the installation media on a separate disk, then connect the disk to the system we need to rescue. Thanks for your input. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
