|
||
|
|
<div><p>The software installation process has three phases: preinstallation
|
||
|
|
activities, the main installation, and postinstallation activities. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p></p>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li><strong>Preinstallation activities:</strong> <p>You can do these activities
|
||
|
|
days or even a few weeks in advance. To plan and prepare your server before
|
||
|
|
you install your software, use the appropriate planning and preparation topics
|
||
|
|
to guide you through the activities that you need to do.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Upgrading to V5R4 from either V5R2 or V5R3: <a href="rzahcchecklist.htm#rzahcchecklist">Checklist: Software upgrade or replacement readiness</a></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Replacing Licensed Internal Code and i5/OS™ of the same version and release to
|
||
|
|
support new hardware: <a href="rzahcchecklistprepreplace.htm#rzahcchecklistprepreplace">Checklist: Software replacement</a></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Installing V5R4 on a new server or logical partition: <a href="rzahcinstallchecklist.htm#rzahcinstallchecklist">Checklist: Software installation readiness</a></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>These activities include verifying your order, checking the amount
|
||
|
|
of available disk space, backing up your server, and cleaning your media device.
|
||
|
|
In a software upgrade or replacement, some of the tasks are required. If you
|
||
|
|
do not perform these required tasks, you will be forced to restart the installation.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>The installation process:</strong> <p> The installation process begins
|
||
|
|
when you start performing the instructions in one of the procedural topics.
|
||
|
|
For example, to upgrade to the new release, you might have chosen automatic
|
||
|
|
installation. The automatic installation process installs the Licensed Internal
|
||
|
|
Code, the operating system (<span class="keyword">i5/OS</span>),
|
||
|
|
and licensed programs. You would have minimal interaction with the system,
|
||
|
|
except to load the optical distribution media and to monitor the system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Your
|
||
|
|
only installation activity might be changing the primary language or installing
|
||
|
|
additional licensed programs. Or, perhaps you want to perform these activities
|
||
|
|
after an automatic or manual installation.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Postinstallation activities:</strong> <p>The last step of each procedure
|
||
|
|
directs you to use a completion checklist. You might be directed to additional
|
||
|
|
steps, such as saving your system and performing installation activities on
|
||
|
|
workstations for IBM<sup>®</sup> eServer™ <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Access Family</span> products.
|
||
|
|
Other activities could include customizing your system, or setting usage limits
|
||
|
|
for user-based priced products. Before you begin production work on your system,
|
||
|
|
be sure to adequately protect your system from unauthorized use.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The
|
||
|
|
following figure shows an example of one type of software installation. (Your
|
||
|
|
particular installation might not include all of the topics that are shown
|
||
|
|
in this figure.) </p>

|

|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>The procedure that you use for software installation depends on what you
|
||
|
|
plan to install. </p>
|
||
|
|
<dl class="dlexpand"><dt class="dltermexpand">Install software on a new server</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>If you just received a new server, the operating system and other licensed
|
||
|
|
programs might or might not be installed already.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dltermexpand">Upgrade or replace existing software</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>If you are upgrading or replacing your existing <span class="keyword">OS/400<sup>®</sup></span> or <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> software, use either the automatic
|
||
|
|
installation method or the manual installation method. <dl class="dlexpand"><dt class="dltermexpand">Automatic installation</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>This replaces your existing release with minimal user interaction. The
|
||
|
|
language feature code on the distribution media is installed as the primary
|
||
|
|
language on the server. The automatic installation process keeps the current
|
||
|
|
environment and system values. The process can add all nonconfigured disk
|
||
|
|
units to the system auxiliary storage pool (ASP) and retain the ASP configuration
|
||
|
|
of previously configured disk units. The automatic installation process is
|
||
|
|
recommended for use with most servers. </dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dltermexpand">Manual installation</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>This interactively replaces your existing release by using the Work with
|
||
|
|
Licensed Programs menu. Displays that require responses appear on the console.
|
||
|
|
During a manual installation, you can change installation options. Use the
|
||
|
|
manual installation process if you are doing any of the following installation
|
||
|
|
procedures:<ul><li>Adding a disk device using mirrored protection, device parity protection,
|
||
|
|
or user auxiliary storage pools.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Changing the environment (<span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> or System/36™),
|
||
|
|
system values, language feature code, or configuration values.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Planning to use an alternate installation device when you upgrade.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Creating logical partitions during the installation process.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Using tapes created with the Save System (SAVSYS) command. (The SAVSYS
|
||
|
|
command creates tapes that are meant for recovery.)</li>

<dt class="dltermexpand">Add licensed programs</dt>
|

|
|
<dd>When you add additional licensed programs (in addition to those done already
|
||
|
|
in the methods mentioned above) or optional parts of licensed programs, you
|
||
|
|
use the method done through option 11 (Install licensed programs) of the Work
|
||
|
|
with Licensed Programs (LICPGM) menu. Typically you use option 11 when you
|
||
|
|
need to install a new licensed program or to replace a single licensed program.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dltermexpand">Add or change globalization support</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>When you add a secondary language, you add additional language objects
|
||
|
|
for the licensed programs that are installed on your system. <p>When you
|
||
|
|
change the primary language, you replace the existing language objects. Depending
|
||
|
|
on the procedure that you use, you can also replace program objects. </p>
