    Notes:

    1. Ignore the message on the bottom of the IPL Options display.

    2. If change system values, you can do so now. One example of a system value that you might change is the value for the security level (QSECURITY) system value.

      Another example is the scan control (QSCANFSCTL) system value. If you have not already done so, consider specifying *NOPOSTRST for the QSCANFSCTL system value to minimize future scanning of some objects that are restored during the installation of licensed programs in the following steps. For more information on scanning and the system value settings, see the topic Scanning support .

      Type Y for the Define or change the system at IPL prompt. Follow the instructions on the displays.

    Type the following and press Enter:

    • System date: (Use the current date.)

    • System time: (Use the current time, 24-hour clock.)

    • System time zone: (Verify that it is correct or press F4 to select a time zone.)

    • Set major system options: N

    • Replace if current: N (See note that follows.)

    • Nonaccepted agreement: 2 (See note that follows.)

    • Automatic IPL: N
    Notes:

    • If you created a customized installation list, select install option 4 (Installed and additionally selected products). This option only appears if you used the LICPGM menu option to Prepare for Install, which is described in Required: Creating a custom list of software to install.

    • In this example, the installation device is OPT01. If you are using a different naming convention, use the name you have assigned to the installation device.

    • If you are using your own distribution media, select 2 for the Install option field. For the Replace if current field, type Y.

    • If you are migrating data from one system to another system using documented backup and recovery procedures, type Y for the Replace if current field.

    • If you have not previously accepted software agreements for licensed programs that you plan to install, option 2 displays the software agreements for acceptance as each licensed program is installed. This will increase the length of your installation time. If you want to accept the software agreements now, go to step 5 and then return here.

  9. Status displays might appear. These displays show the status of the licensed programs and language objects as they install on the system. You do not need to respond to these status displays.
