<div><p>An overview of the preparation tasks that you can perform on your
|
||
|
|
servers to ensure a successful install, which includes determining if there
|
||
|
|
are any special instructions.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Determine how to install your fixes. Some fixes can be applied without
|
||
|
|
requiring an IPL. These fixes are called <dfn class="term">immediate fixes</dfn>. Some
|
||
|
|
fixes can be applied only during an IPL. These are called <dfn class="term">delayed fixes</dfn>.
|
||
|
|
Immediate fixes can also be applied during an IPL. You need to determine if
|
||
|
|
you are installing any delayed fixes and when it is convenient for you to
|
||
|
|
IPL your system to apply the fixes. The cover letter tells you if the fix
|
||
|
|
is immediate or delayed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Before you begin to install fixes, complete these tasks:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Have a current backup of your user data, operating system, and licensed
|
||
|
|
programs. If you have backed up the operating system and licensed programs
|
||
|
|
since the last time you applied fixes, that backup is acceptable.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Have all users sign off the system only if you are doing an IPL when you
|
||
|
|
install the fix.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />For 8xx models, before applying a fix to the primary partition
|
||
|
|
of a system with logical partitions, power down the secondary partitions.
|
||
|
|
See <a href="rzam8fixinstalllpar.htm#rzam8fixinstalllpar">Install fixes on systems with logical partitions</a> for
|
||
|
|
further information. For eServer™ 5xx models, see the <a href="../icbase/ipha5/ipha5kickoff.htm">Customer service, support, and troubleshooting</a> and
|
||
|
|
the <a href="rzam8fixinstallhmc.htm#rzam8fixinstallhmc">Install fixes on systems managed by Hardware Management Console</a> topics.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Be sure you have security officer (*SECOFR) user class authority. You
|
||
|
|
need it to do the rest of the install steps.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Verify that your system is running on the B storage area. See the Determine
|
||
|
|
the storage area topic for more information. Your server maintains two copies
|
||
|
|
of all Licensed Internal Code: a permanent copy and a temporary copy. Read
|
||
|
|
this topic to learn about the available storage areas.</li>
