|
||

|
you to use for your software upgrade. Refer to <a href="supportedreleasesupgrades.htm#supportedreleasesupgrades">Supported releases for i5/OS (OS/400) upgrades</a> to
|

determine which releases are supported for upgrades to V5R4. Be familiar with

the sequence of the steps you use to upgrade or replace a release on a server

considerations before you begin the installation. Be sure to read the topic <a href="rzahcglobalconsider.htm#rzahcglobalconsider">Globalization and software installation</a>. You cannot change
|

your primary language to a language you currently have installed as a secondary

accept online software agreements for the Licensed Internal Code and the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> operating system for the upgrade

create a device, an image catalog, and an image catalog entry. <p>To upgrade from either V5R2 or V5R3 to V5R4 using an image catalog,
|

do the following steps: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="a"><li>If you are upgrading from V5R2, load and apply the required
|

|
|
V5R2 PTF SI19886. If you are upgrading from V5R3, load and apply the required

V5R3 PTF SI19888.</li>

<li>Perform the setup steps in <a href="prepareimagecatalog.htm#prepareimagecatalog">Preparing to upgrade or replace software using an image catalog</a>.
