Follow these steps to replace the Licensed Internal Code.
As you perform these steps, reference codes appear on the data display of the control panel or the virtual control panel on the primary partition or Hardware Management Console (HMC). When the system attention light is on and a reference code starting with A6 appears, the system is waiting for you to respond to a message or make a device ready. When this information lists a reference code with xx (such as A6xx 6001), it means that any combination of characters can occur where the xx appears. The console can also display reference codes during the installation of Licensed Internal Code. For more details about reference codes, refer to Reference codes for software installation.
If you are using image catalogs, you need to have completed steps 1 through step 5 in the topic Preparing to upgrade or replace software using an image catalog. Then return to this topic. In the following procedures, ignore the steps that refer to loading volumes.
To verify the image catalog entries are sorted in the correct sequence and to validate that all your images are in loaded status, enter the following command:
WRKIMGCLGE IMGCLG(catalog-name)
Ensure your catalog is in ready status and that all image catalog entries are in loaded or mounted status. To sort and verify your image catalog for installation, press PF7 to prompt for the VFYIMGCLG command. Enter *UPGRADE for the type and *YES for the sort field.
Another method to sort and verify your image catalog is to enter the following command to put the images in the correct order. By default, the volume with the lowest index is mounted. Then all the other volumes are loaded.
VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(catalog-name) TYPE(*UPGRADE) SORT(*YES)
After you ensure that your images are in loaded status, continue with step 3.
Keep the following installation media available for later use:
For descriptions of the optical media, refer to Media labels and their contents.
If you are using an image catalog to perform your upgrade and you performed the IPL in this step, you need to perform step 5 in Scenario: Preparing to upgrade or replace software using an image catalog and then return here to the next step.
After you have loaded and applied either of these PTFs, type the following:
PWRDWNSYS OPTION(*IMMED) RESTART(*YES) IPLSRC(*IMGCLG) IMGCLG(catalog-name)
PWRDWNSYS OPTION(*IMMED) RESTART(*YES) IPLSRC(D)
Powering down could take approximately 15 minutes or more for this step. The data display area of the control panel continues to display reference codes.
If you are upgrading a logical partition, the system attention light will not appear. You must monitor the logical partition reference codes from the primary partition or the HMC. When the State changes to Failed, that is the equivalent of having the attention light on for the primary partition.
Select a Language Group
The language feature shown is the language feature
installed on the system.
Attention: To keep the same primary language, ensure that the
media you use for installing the operating system
matches the language feature shown. If the operating
system media does not match what is shown, the
installation process will attempt to install the
operating system in a different language feature than
Licensed Internal Code. This is undesirable.
