In the next few steps the customer will be required to use the information from the
service representative to finish the resource management on the new server.The
goal of these steps is to ensure the server is set up and running to the customer’s
needs. Youwill be asked to save your system. IBM strongly recommends that you
save your system when instructed to do so. Saving your system allows you to
have recovery data in case of disaster.
__ 1. Ensure that you received the source system’s label locations printout from
the hardware service representative (referto step 7 on page 22). This is
used to get the hardware resources correctlyassigned to resource names.
__ 2. Continue the initial program load (IPL) by selecting option 1 from the IPL
or Install the System screen.
Notes:
a. Youmight see a disk unit format optimize warning message. IBM
suggests that you handle this disk optimization and protection later.See
step 8 on page 30.
b. If the Add All Disk Units to the System ASP screen appears, IBM
recommends that you wait and add the disk units at step 3on page 29.
Note:
Changing the QIPLTYPE system value may resultin receiving the system
reference code (SRC) A900 2000.
SRC A900 2000
You might see the SRC A900 2000 on the controlpanel display of the
system unit. Or, you might receive message CPF0975 Console did not
vary on on the console display.This SRC and message appear if there
is no device description for the console display.They might also
appear if the QIPLTYPE system value is set to 2.
This SRC and message are normal during the upgrade procedure. The
SRC will disappear when you perform a normal IPL later in the
upgrade procedure.
If no workstation on your system is operational when you receive
SRC A900 2000, continue with “SRC A900 2000 Recovery”on page 40.
Note: The System reference codes and primary partitions topic, located in
the Information Center under System planning and installation ->
Getting started with iSeries -> Managing system operations ->
Starting and stopping the iSeries, describes other SRCs that you
might see during a manual IPL.
__ 3. Sign on to the system as the security officer using the QSECOFR user
profile.
__ 4. At the IPL Options screen verify the date and time. Verify that the following
items are set as follows. If any of these items are not correct, change them
now as shown in the example below.
Start print writers = N
Start to system to restricted state = Y
Define or change system at IPL = Y
__ 5. After the IPL completes, use the Work with Configuration Status
(WRKCFGSTS) *LIN *ALL command to ensure that all communications
lines are varied off.
