If not installing in single user mode, you run the risk of not all patches that are applicable installing properly. Installing remotely requires console access either via a terminal server or better yet, via the Remote System Controller (RSC) on Vx80/90 systems, Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) on Vx40/20 systems. The advantage of RSC's and ALOM's for performing remotely is that these devices also offer you the ability to remotely power up/down the systems. In case of a "lockup", at least you'd have the ability of kicking the server over and getting the console from remote..
