Starting the automatic installation process again

Use one of three methods if you want to start the automatic installation process again after recovering from an error.

Methods for starting the automatic installation process again
Method Instructions
Method 1: Licensed Internal Code

When to use: This method should be used if the Licensed Internal Code needs to be installed again. If you are sure the Licensed Internal Code has been successfully installed, you do not need to use this method. No message indicates that the Licensed Internal Code has been installed successfully; however, messages do indicate that the operating system has been installed successfully. If the operating system has been installed successfully, so has the Licensed Internal Code.

How to use: To start an installation process again, use the instructions in Upgrading or replacing software using automatic installation.

Method 2: Operating System

When to use: If you are sure the Licensed Internal Code has been installed successfully, use Method 2 to install the operating system again. Method 2 is faster than using Method 1 because the Licensed Internal Code does not need to be installed again. No message indicates that the Licensed Internal Code has been installed successfully; however, messages do indicate that the operating system has been installed successfully. If the operating system has been installed successfully, so has the Licensed Internal Code.
