Utility to restore Licensed Internal Code

Introduction

Restoring Licensed Internal Code completely exchanges all Licensed Internal Code with a new level of code. The Restore Licensed Internal Code option copies all system Licensed Internal Code from media and puts it on a disk.

Select this utility to do the following:

vInstall the new Licensed Internal Code in place of the system’s existing Licensed Internal Code without losing customer data already on the system.

vUpdate a system’s Licensed Internal Code to a new release.

vReinstall Licensed Internal Code when DST is not operational.

The system Licensed Internal Code might be on the customer’s system save media, the IBM distribution (ISMD) media, or the Licensed Internal Code save media.

Notes:

1.If there is a set of distribution or save media, start the installation with the first tape or optical device.

2.For instructions on loading the optical device, see the System Startup and Problem Handling information.

3.The Licensed Internal Code level (with the PTFs applied) is returned to the level supported at the time the media was saved.

4.If you use Volume 1 of the IBM distribution media, you do not apply any PTFs. The operating system reflects that no Licensed Internal Code PTFs have been applied. For more information on PTF levels, see “Displaying Licensed Internal Code fixes” on page 224.
