Installing Licensed Internal Code on the new i5/OS logical partition

Installing Licensed Internal Code on the new logical partition

To install the Licensed Internal Code, follow these procedures.
Load the first volume of installation media that contains the Licensed Internal Code into the installation device that is defined for the system. (If you are using IBM-supplied media, this volume is labeled I_BASE_01.) Throughout these procedures, load the next volume when prompted by the system. Wait for the In Use indicator to go out. Also ensure that you have removed other media from devices that are not involved in the upgrade.
The optical media that you will need later for the operating system and other licensed programs are listed in step 2 .

Make sure you can access either the primary partition or the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to control your new logical partition. If power is not on, go to the following sources for more information and return here when done.

For IBM^® System i5™, System p5, and IBM eServer™ i5 and p5 systems, Restarting and shutting down i5/OS^® in a logical partition .

For System i™ 8xx and earlier models, Restart and power down a system with logical partitions .

Ensure the following for the new logical partition:

If you are using a twinaxial console, the device for the new logical partition needs to be powered on.

If you are using Operations Console, you need a valid connection configuration for the logical partition after you have run the Operations Console wizard. The console for the logical partition needs to be at Connecting console. (To view the status in Operations Console, click the IBM eServer iSeries™ Access for Windows^® icon and double-click iSeries Operations Console.)

Verify that this logical partition has an alternate IPL resource (the resource for loading) assigned. For more information on alternate IPL resources, see the following sources:

IBM System i5, System p5, and IBM eServer i5 and p5 systems, Alternate restart device and removable media devices for i5/OS logical partitions .

For System i 8xx and earlier models, Logical partition concepts .

Load the installation media volume that contains Licensed Internal Code (I_BASE_01) into the installation resource defined for this logical partition. Before you go to the next step, be sure that no conditions exist that require your attention.
If you are using a tape device instead of the optical device that is optimized for optical media, verify that the tape unit is loaded and that the tape drive is ready.

Use the control panel to verify or to set the mode selection to Manual and the IPL source to D. These settings indicate that you are controlling the logical partition from the primary partition or HMC, but the installation is done on the logical partition.

Use the control panel to power on this logical partition.
Wait for the i5/OS display to appear that has the language feature to select. (This could take several minutes, but you can monitor the status.)
If you are using Operations Console and receive a Service Device Sign-On window when doing this step, sign on by using the appropriate data. It is strongly recommended that you use the userid/password of 11111111/11111111 for this connection. If you do not receive the Service Device Sign-On window, the data is supplied by the personal computer from previously entered data.
The installation media for Licensed Internal Code is now language-independent. It is important that you complete this step carefully.
The language that is entered on this i5/OS display must match the language that is on the B29xx_01 media. If they do not match, do not continue with the installation. Stop and call your software provider. Get the correct language feature before continuing.
Refer to Feature codes for national language version to locate the appropriate feature code for your language.

  LANGUAGE FEATURE ===>   2924            
The language feature 2924 (English) is the default for this display. If you are installing a language other than 2924, type the correct primary language feature code in place of 2924. The language feature is shown on the label of your installation media as B29xx_nn, where 29xx indicates the feature for the primary language.
Press Enter.
After you enter the language feature, the Confirm Language Group display appears.

      1. Install Licensed Internal Code       2. Work with Dedicated Service Tools (DST)
      3. Define alternate installation device  
Attention: Tape devices attached by a Fibre Channel interface will need to be set up as alternate installation devices.
If you use an alternate installation device, ensure that you set up the device and that you enable the device. You also need to have the CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, or tape media that contains the Licensed Internal Code and your save media.
Either select the option to install Licensed Internal Code or the option to define an alternate installation device:

Type 1 (Install Licensed Internal Code) if you are not using an alternate installation device. (The alternate installation device function supports installation from tape media that you have created. Overview: Alternate installation device describes when you can use an alternate installation device.)

If you have an alternate installation device attached to the system, type 3 to verify its address and determine whether it is enabled or disabled. Continue with the Verifying Alternate Installation Device Subtask in step 11. If you have an alternate installation device configured and do not want to use it, type 3 to clear the alternate installation device configuration information. If you are not using an alternate installation device, go on to step 13.

Press Enter. This step could take some time.
