<div><p>Perform these preparatory tasks, some of which are mandatory, before
|

you schedule your installation. </p>
|

|
|
<p>Careful, complete, and early
|
||
|
|
preparation saves a considerable amount of time and can help make your software
|
||
|
|
release upgrade on your system run smoothly. To do the tasks in this topic,
|
||
|
|
you will need to sign on as security officer (QSECOFR user profile). Allow
|
||
|
|
ample time (a few weeks or days before the installation) to complete these
|
||
|
|
tasks before you perform the actual installation tasks.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are setting up logical partitions, you need to plan in advance of
|
||
|
|
your installation and have a basic understanding of logical partitions plus
|
||
|
|
your software and hardware requirements. For iSeries™ 8xx or earlier models, refer
|
||
|
|
to <a href="../rzait/rzaitoverview.htm">Plan
|
||
|
|
for logical partitions</a> . For <span>IBM<sup>®</sup> <span class="keyword">System i5</span>, System p5, and IBM eServer™ i5
|
||
|
|
and p5 systems</span>, refer to <a href="../icbase/iphbl/planlpar.htm" target="_blank">Planning for logical partitions</a> .
|
||
|
|
You can also have different release levels on different partitions. For directions
|
||
|
|
on how to do these correctly, see <a href="../rzait/rzaitmanagelparoverview.htm">Manage logical partitions</a> for iSeries 8xx or earlier models. For <span>IBM <span class="keyword">System i5</span>, System p5, and IBM eServer i5
