As mentioned earlier you surely must be able to find 2GB spare on one
of your servers and then just use NFS. Why do you take your servers
off the network to install a TL ?? This isnt necessary. You are
making a lot of work for yourself by using CD's and having to
physically be at each machine.
Just as the OP I personally prefer a fresh install from CD,
i.e. have a fully secured box before connecting to any network.
Last I heard was that a PC connected to the internet is being
attacked within 40 seconds or so. Of course an AIX box should be a
little bit more secure, but a bit of paranoia doesn't hurt.
if you done have that much disk free
than install linux on a PC and use that to install from via NFS.
I think an AIX box should be able to stand on its own feet
and not need a crappy PC to operate.
The OP isnt doing a fresh install, he is putting TL7 onto AIX servers
currently running at an earlier TL or ML level so they are already
going to be on a network and hopefully secure.
Also I'd assme the OP had some sort of firewall and other security in
place and didnt have his AIX servers (or PC's) connected directly to
the internet and is goijg over an interal network. Plus I said to use
Linux on a PC, not Windows on a PC which is no doubt where you get
your 'attacked within 40 seconds' figures from.
And of course AIX doesnt need a 'crappy PC' to operate, but if you
want to install a TL over the network via NFS from another server you
need to NFS mount if from somewhere - thats hardly the same as AIX
needing a PC to operate!!
