<div><p>This topic highlights <span>V5R4 </span>changes for the
|
||
|
|
upgrade, installation, and deletion information for <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> and
|
||
|
|
related software. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Requirements before you install V5R4</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you have an IBM<sup>®</sup> <span class="keyword">System i5</span>,
|
||
|
|
System p5, or IBM eServer™ i5
|
||
|
|
or p5 system that is managed by Hardware Management Console (HMC), your server
|
||
|
|
firmware must be at the SF235_xxx level to be able to support V5R4. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Requirements before you install V5R4 Licensed Internal Code</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The V5R4 Licensed Internal Code requires more storage
|
||
|
|
space on the load-source disk unit than V5R2M0 or V5R3M0 Licensed Internal
|
||
|
|
Code. (Your load-source disk unit has enough storage if you have V5R3M5 Licensed
|
||
|
|
Internal Code installed.) To upgrade to the V5R4 Licensed Internal Code, you
|
||
|
|
must have a load-source disk unit of 17 GB or larger. Steps for determining
|
||
|
|
if you have enough storage space are included in <a href="prepareupgradeorreplace.htm#prepareupgradeorreplace">Preparing to upgrade or replace software</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition, all servers with V5R2 or V5R3 installed require
|
||
|
|
reserved storage of approximately 4 gigabytes before V5R4 can be installed.
|
||
|
|
Your upgrade will stop during the installation of Licensed Internal Code if
|
||
|
|
you do not have this space. Steps for determining storage space and allocating
|
||
|
|
storage are included within the topic <a href="prepareupgradeorreplace.htm#prepareupgradeorreplace">Preparing to upgrade or replace software</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Information on conversions</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The number and type of conversions that occur either during
|
||
|
|
a software upgrade or during normal operations after an upgrade are now shown
|
||
|
|
together under a single topic, <a href="convert.htm#convert">Times for conversions</a>.
|
||
|
|
Review this information to determine the affects that conversions might have
|
||
|
|
on your system. Topics include <a href="ifsconv.htm#ifsconv">Integrated file system conversions</a>, <a href="sqlconv.htm#sqlconv">Conversion of objects that contain SQL statements</a>, <a href="dbconv.htm#dbconv">Database file conversions</a>,
|

<p><strong>Electronic software delivery</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can receive <span class="keyword">IBM i5/OS</span> software
|
||
|
|
online through electronic software delivery. The <span class="keyword">IBM i5/OS</span> operating
|
||
|
|
system and most related licensed programs support this new delivery method.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you order <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> licensed
|
||
|
|
programs, you can select electronic software delivery as the method of delivery.
|
||
|
|
If you select electronic software delivery, you receive information on how
|
||
|
|
to access your ordered licensed programs from the <a href="http://www.ibm.com/eserver/ess" target="_blank">Entitled software support</a><img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> Web site. Associated publications
|
||
|
|
and other documentation are also available from the same Web site.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Instructions on how to download and prepare to install your
|
||
|
|
software are available at the <a href="http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/software/delivery/en_US/downloadinfo.html" target="_blank">Electronic software delivery</a><img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> Web

<p><strong>Procedures for replacing Licensed Internal Code and <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> of
|
||
|
|
the same version and release</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you order feature code 2693, use this procedure to install
|
||
|
|
a new modification of Licensed Internal Code and a more recent update of <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> to support new hardware. Procedures
|
||
|
|

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">What's new for V5R2-to-V5R4 upgrades</h4><p><strong>Licensed
|
||
|
|
programs require the acceptance of their software agreements before you install</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span>If you are upgrading from V5R2 to the V5R4 release, the information
|
||
|
|
regarding software agreements is new to you. For IBM licensed programs that have
|
||
|
|
an online software agreement for V5R4,</span> you will need to accept the agreement
|
||
|
|
through the Prepare for Install menu before you can upgrade the programs.
|
||
|
|
You must install a PTF (steps to do this are included in the topic <a href="fixesestimate.htm#fixesestimate">Required: Installing Prepare for install PTFs for V5R2 and V5R3</a>)
|
||
|
|
to be able to accept the software agreements for Licensed Internal Code and
|
||
|
|
the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> operating system.
|
||
|
|
You will not be allowed to continue the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> upgrade
|
||
|
|
if you do not accept these software agreements. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you do not accept
|
||
|
|
the agreements for any other licensed program, these licensed programs will
|
||
|
|
not be installed automatically during the upgrade. <span>You can also accept
|
||
|
|
new licensed programs before an upgrade.</span> <a href="acceptswagree.htm#acceptswagree">Required: Accepting software agreements</a> describes
|
||
|
|
how to accept the agreements for an upgrade. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The topic <a href="../rzam8/rzam81.htm">Maintain and manage i5/OS and related
|
||
|
|
software</a> describes how to
|
||
|
|
use, manage, and generate software agreements.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Cumulative PTF package
|
||
|
|
is not included in software orders</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The cumulative PTF package does
|
||
|
|
not come with your software order. About a week or two before you upgrade,
|
||
|
|
order the most recent cumulative PTF package and also order PTF groups that
|
||
|
|
pertain to your environment. These tasks are discussed in <a href="requiredfixesupgrade.htm#requiredfixesupgrade">Reviewing software PTF (fix) requirements</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Console
|
||
|
|
mode value and console takeover options</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span>Because the
|
||
|
|
console mode value is honored for V5R3 or later installations,</span> you need to
|
||
|
|
check that it is set correctly before you upgrade. A value of zero means that
|
||
|
|
the console mode has not been set and might interfere with the automatic installation
|
||
|
|
process. In addition, you can choose to allow an <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> LAN
|
||
|
|
console or Hardware Management Console to be taken over by another console
|
||
|
|
in the event your console is disconnected. When this option is turned on,
|
||
|
|
the system does not stop with a failure but continues to run uninterrupted.
|
||
|
|
Steps for verifying the console mode value are included in the upgrade and
|
||
|
|
installation tasks. For more information on the console takeover option, see
|
||
|
|
the topic <a href="../icbase/iphbx/consoletakeoverandrecover.htm" target="_blank">Console takeover and recovery</a> .</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Additional
|
||
|
|
primary languages can be ordered</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For V5R4, you can order
|
||
|
|
additional primary language media (feature code 82xx) and receive the standard set and keyed
|
||
|
|
set for each of those languages. Secondary languages, if ordered, come on
|
||
|
|
separate optical media.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Server firmware</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span><span>IBM <span class="keyword">System i5</span>, System p5, and IBM eServer i5
|
||
|
|
and p5 systems</span>,</span> the level of the server firmware needs to be managed. <em>Server
|
||
|
|
firmware</em> is the code
|
||
|
|
that resides in system flash memory, and includes a number of subcomponents,
|
||
|
|
including power control code and the logical partition firmware that is loaded
|
||
|
|
into AIX<sup>®</sup> or Linux<sup>®</sup> logical
|
||
|
|
partitions. The server firmware is installed on your system as part of the
|
||
|
|
Licensed Internal Code. If your system is defined as the service partition
|
||
|
|
and your server is not managed by a Hardware Management Console (HMC), the
|
||
|
|
level of the server firmware that is on the service partition is used. A <em>service
|
||
|
|
partition</em> is one partition on a server that must be set up to report hardware
|
||
|
|
status and software errors to IBM. Installing a new level of the Licensed
|
||
|
|
Internal Code might change the level of the server firmware and require a
|
||
|
|
server IPL to be performed. A <em>server IPL</em> is an initial program load <span>where
|
||
|
|
all logical partitions on a server are shut down at the same time and then
|
||
|
|
restarted. </span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If your system is managed by an HMC, the level of the
|
||
|
|
server firmware that is part of the Licensed Internal Code on the service
|
||
|
|
partition is not used. The level of the server firmware is managed by the
|
||
|
|
HMC. For more information about fixes and the HMC, refer to the topic <a href="../icbase/ipha5/fixes.htm" target="_blank">Fixes</a> .</p>
