Before You Begin
Chapter 11. Checklist for Completing the Installation
Use this checklist to complete any of the installation processes in this book.
__ 1. If you still have default passwords for your service tools user profiles, you need to change them now. See Tips and Tools for Securing Your iSeries, SC41-5300-07 for information on service tools user profiles.
__ 2. Remove the media volume when the installation is complete. If your media is tape, wait for the tape to rewind completely.
__ 3. If you have any IBM or non-IBM products with special installation instructions, install these products now. Check the product’s
documentation, and follow the special instructions there. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
__ 4. Install the cumulative PTF package (the package that came with your distribution media or a more recent current cumulative PTF package). Use the instructions in the PTF Shipping Information Letter. Then return here and continue with the next step.
Note: If you do not install the cumulative PTF package now, you need to perform an IPL and let the Initialize System (INZSYS) process complete. Before you do, set the IPL type to B (or the IPL type you use for everyday operation) and then set the mode selection to Normal. Refer to “INZSYS Recovery Information” on page 105 for more information.
For logical partitions only
Attention!Do not use this step to install the cumulative PTF package on a system with logical partitions. You could potentially lose data. Instead refer to the iSeries Information Center: Systems Management —> Logical partitions topics to understand how to install the cumulative PTF package on a system with logical partitions.
__ 5. Apply any group PTFs that you may have ordered. For more information on group PTFs, refer to the iSeries Information Center: System planning and installation —> Hardware and software —> Software and licensed programs —> Prepare for software installation —> Ordering and applying program temporary fixes —> Evaluating release-level interoperability. To apply group PTFs, refer to the cover letter and instructions for the program temporary fix (PTF). For general information on applying PTFs, refer to the Getting started with iSeries topic in the System planning and installation category of the iSeries Information Center.
__ 6. Look for messages in the install history log that indicate the status of the Initialize System (INZSYS) process. Use option 50 (Display log) on the Work with Licensed Programs display to look for messages.
Note: On some systems, the INZSYS process could take 2 or more hours to complete; on most systems, it should complete within a few
minutes.
a. Type GO LICPGM, and press Enter.
b. Type 50 on the Work with Licensed Programs display, and press Enter.
c. The Display Install History display appears. Press Enter.
The Display History Log Contents display appears. If you do not see either of the following messages on the display, wait a few minutes and select option 50 again. Find the message Initialize System (INZSYS) started.
After this message appears, wait for a period of time and look for the Initialize System (INZSYS) processing completed successfully message (CPC37A9). If you do not see this message on the display, go to “INZSYS Recovery Information” on page 105 to determine the problem.
__ 7. Install software license keys for your OS/400 and keyed products. Use the Work with License Information (WRKLICINF) command to display the installed keyed products to add license key data. For instructions, refer to the iSeries Information Center: System planning and installation —>
Hardware and software —> Software and licensed programs —>
Concepts for licensed program management —> Software license keys
—> Updating license key information.
After updating the license key information, return here and continue with the next step.
__ 8. Update the usage limit for nonkeyed, usage-based priced (UBP) products by using the WRKLICINF command. The usage limit is listed on the Proof of Entitlement (POE) for each usage-based priced product. Refer to “Setting the Usage Limit” on page 117 for instructions.
After updating the usage limit, return here and continue with the next step.
__ 9. Vary on your server and perform the Level Check command for the product 5722-WSV, Integration for Windows Server. Refer to the iSeries Information Center: System planning and installation —> Hardware and software —> Software and licensed programs —> Prepare for software installation —> Ordering and applying program temporary fixes —>
Upgrading Windows servers to the current level.
__ 10. If you have installed the product 5722-VI1, ImagePlus VisualInfo, you can use the product. However, you must apply a PTF and perform
post-installation commands before you can save the product. For more information, refer to the section “Post Installation” in the product
document IBM ImagePlus® VisualInfo™for AS/400: Planning and Installation Guide, GC34-4585 (V4R5 or earlier).
__ 11. If you have not already verified the compatibility of your licensed programs with the OS/400, then do this now. Use LICPGM menu option 10, Display installed licensed programs. If *COMPATIBLE is not listed next to a licensed program, then go to Appendix E, “Installed status values” on page 147, and determine how to proceed.
__ 12. Save your system using your normal save procedures. (Refer to the instructions in the book Backup and Recovery, SC41-5304.) Make sure that the Initialize System (INZSYS) process is complete before you save your system.
Note: Before you start a save operation, use the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command to check the status of QDCPOBJx jobs.
These jobs decompress objects. There could be more than one QDCPOBJx job. You can start your save operation if these jobs are in an inactive state. If you put the system in a restricted state by ending subsystems, the QDCPOBJx jobs become inactive. The jobs will restart when the system is not in a restricted state. For more information about decompressing objects, see Compressed objects and storage space under the Evaluating your disk storage needs topic in the iSeries Information Center.
__ 13. If you plan to install and use the iSeries Information Center either from a workstation or the iSeries, refer to the CD-ROMs that ship with your Operating System/400 order: iSeries Information Center, SK3T-4091-00. This package also includes the PDF versions of iSeries manuals, iSeries
Information Center: Supplemental Manuals, SK3T-4092-00, which replaces the Softcopy Library CD-ROM. You will find the installation instructions in the readme.txt file.
__ 14. If you have installed Client Access products, you may have other tasks that you need to complete. You can find further information about installing Client Access products in the following sources:
v The book, Client Access Express for Windows - Setup, SC41-5507-02.
v The iSeries Client Access Web site:
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/clientaccess
__ 15. You may have installed licensed programs that require additional
installation steps on PCs. Or, you may have programs that install on PCs through a Client Access function. If you have products such as this, complete your PC installation by using the instructions for the product.
__ 16. If you have an Integrated Netfinity Server that you stopped before you began the installation process, restart it now.
a. TypeGO NWSADM on the AS/400 command line. The Network Server Administration display appears.
b. Select option 2, Start a network server.
__ 17. If you installed 5722-TC1, TCP/IP Utilities, go to the iSeries Information Center: Networking –> TCP/IP topics for advanced configuration and setup information.
__ 18. If you installed 5722-JV1, IBM Developer Kit for Java, verify that the program is installed. Typejava Hello at the command line, and press Enter.
Additional information about the Developer Kit for Java licensed program is available under the Programming category of the iSeries Information Center.
__ 19. You might have to run the Convert Performance Data (CVTPFRDTA) command to convert the collected data to a format that is usable by this new release. Run the conversion if you have both of the following conditions:
v 5722-PT1, Performance Tools for iSeries installed
v Performance data on your system that was collected prior to performing the installation of this new release
For instructions, see “Converting the Performance Data” on page 120.
You have completed installing V5R1M0 on your server.
