Activation
The customer's system stores all the LIC-CC records associated with the z990 that has the
CIU option. These LIC-CC records will only be available for download when they are
externally activated by Resource Link. Upon submission of the order, Resource Link will
dynamically enable the appropriate LIC-CC records and make them available to the
customer, via the Remote Support Facility, to be downloaded by the Hardware Management
Console. When the order is available for download, the customer will be given an activation
number. Once Resource Link has notified the customer that the upgrade is ready for
download, the customer can go to any of the Hardware Management Consoles attached to
the system and do a Single Object Operations to the Support Element where the upgrade is
to be applied, selecting the Perform Model Conversion task. Using the Model Conversion
screen, select the CIU Options (see Figure 8-7) to start the process.
Figure 8-7 z990 Model Conversion screen
A new Configuration panel, shown in Figure8-8 on page 200, offers the option Retrieve and
Apply CIU. It prompts the customer to enter the order activation number to begin the code
download process. Once downloaded, the system will check if the upgrades can be retrieved
and applied.
