<h1 class="topictitle1">Overview: Alternate installation device </h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>You can perform installation and recovery procedures by using the
|
||
|
|
primary installation device along with an alternate installation device that
|
||
|
|
you define.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The alternate installation device can be a tape device or an optical device.
|
||
|
|
Some servers, typically with faster devices attached, might
|
||
|
|
see a performance improvement when using an alternate installation device. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you use an alternate installation device, the system uses the primary
|
||
|
|
installation device to load a small portion of the Licensed Internal Code
|
||
|
|
during an IPL-type D and then continues the installation by using the media
|
||
|
|
in the alternate installation device. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use the alternate installation device function for any installation
|
||
|
|
or recovery that requires replacing Licensed Internal Code, the operating
|
||
|
|
system, licensed programs, or data. Some models might require that you set
|
||
|
|
up an alternate installation device and then use the alternate installation
|
||
|
|
device to install the distribution media created by a central site or for
|
||
|
|
recovery using a SAVSYS media volume. </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Attention:</span> Tape devices attached by a Fibre
|
||
|
|
Channel interface will need to be set up as alternate installation devices. <p>If
|
||
|
|
you use an alternate installation device, you need to ensure that you set
|
||
|
|
up the device and that you enable the device. You also need to have the CD-ROM,
|
||
|
|
DVD-RAM, or tape media that contains the Licensed Internal Code and your save
|
||
|
|
media.</p>
