<h1 class="topictitle1">Installation profiles for central site distribution</h1>
<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />IBM supplies four installation profiles that you
can use to install the distribution media at the target systems. You can also
customize these profiles to suit your specific needs.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
<p>Installation profiles contain the tasks you want to perform during the
installation process. They bring many benefits to the automatic installation
process. The choices you make when creating an installation profile affect
only the target systems, not the central system. You can use one of the profiles
supplied by IBM, or you can customize the profiles supplied by IBM to better
suit your needs.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">IBM installation profiles</h4><p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />IBM provides
installation profiles that fit almost every situation. The following is a
list of installation profiles in order of most commonly used. This list includes
profile descriptions and special considerations associated with each.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Replace current release (QRPLRELLVL)</dt>
<dd>Use this option to distribute the software involved in a full-system upgrade.
The system replaces licensed programs that are at the same version, release,
and modification as on the media. </dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Install new system (QINSNEWSYS)</dt>
<dd>Use this option to distribute the software involved in a full-system upgrade
to a new target system. That is, you can use central site distribution to
install a new iSeries server. Or, you can use this option to distribute the
software of a logical partition. The target systems must already have the
current level of the licensed internal code installed. </dd>
<dt class="dlterm">IBM replace current release (QIBMRPLRLS)</dt>
<dd>Use this option to distribute the software involved in a full-system upgrade.
The system does not replace licensed programs that are at the same version,
release, and modification as on the media. </dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Change primary language (QCHGPRILNG)</dt>
<dd>If you plan to distribute the software involved in a full-system upgrade
or the software of a logical partition and you want to change the primary
language, use either the Replace current release profile or the IBM replace
current release profile. If you plan only to change the primary language on
the target system, refer to <a href="../rzahc/rzahcswsprimary.htm"> Considerations for changing a primary language</a>.</dd>

<div class="section"><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><h4 class="sectiontitle">Customized IBM installation profiles</h4><p>If
you want to create your own installation profile or customize the IBM-supplied
installation profiles, select option 41 (Work with installation profiles)
from the GO LICPGM menu. To work with installation profiles, you must have
*CHANGE authority to the QALPAUTO file in the QUSRSYS library.</p>
