Media labels and their contents

Following is a list of the optical media you receive with your i5/OS™ order.

If you requested electronic software delivery, refer to the Electronic software delivery Link outside Information Center Web site for the list of filenames associated with the standard set and keyed set products.

Your media for installation needs to be arranged in the order that is listed. The licensed programs are identified as standard set products and keyed set products.

Release identifier for V5R4: R04M00

Distribution media labels indicate the version, release, and modification level in a format that is different from what appears on displays during installation. The media labels show the version, V5, in the first line of the label. The release and modification level are shown in the format R0xM00.

Media type identifiers

Labels on the distribution media that are used for installation have unique identifiers. Media type identifiers are located on the center of the CD-ROM label. These identifiers help you determine when to use each media volume. The identifier on the label begins with the letters RS and is followed by a series of numbers. The identifiers for B29xx_01 and B29xx_02 must match each other.

Note: With your V5R4 software order, you receive the Prepare for install PTFs for V5R1, V5R2, and V5R3, SK3T-8163, CD-ROM. This media contains PTFs that you temporarily apply to be able to accept online software agreements for V5R4 licensed programs.

When you are ready to install your new software, arrange the media in this order:

Notes:

Keep all of your distribution media. You might need them for recovery procedures.
Media identifiers that contain the string 29xx (where xx are numerals) indicate language-specific media. This string indicates the national language feature code for the primary language. For example, media labeled B2928_01 would be i5/OS with French as the primary language.
You might receive additional media volumes that do not conform to these descriptions. Examples include media that contain PRPQs or media for iSeries Access products that are installed on workstations. Also, IBM Business Partners might label the media differently.
Julian dates are shown in the form yddd. The y is the last digit of the year (0 through 9), and ddd is the day of the year (0 through 366). For example, the Julian date for 6 April 1998 would be shown as 8096 because 06 April is the 96th day of the year 1998.
