Re: 3570 as IPL device

   If you are doing a scratch install of the LIC, then you should have the
   Alt IPL device in the CEC.  If this is an LPAR machine, as a secondary
   LPAR on an 8xx class box you can specify exactly which IOP for 8xx type
   LPAR.  If this partition is on an i5 controlled by an HMC you can specify
   IOA or  IOP for an HMC controlled i5.

   In addition, you can now use an Alternative Installation device (which is
   a little different than an Alternative IPL device) as  it no longer
   matters where the adapter is if you load your LIC from a CD (use the
   I_BASE CD).  Once LIC is installed, then you have the ability to select
   whichever bus the tape drive is on that you desire to load OS/400 from
   while you are at the DST installation menu.  This is extremely useful.

 I recently did this.  It is helpful if the scsi adapter is on the system buss
 instead of the extension buss.

 Quoting Jeff Young <cooljeff913@xxxxxxxxx>:

  

 It must be SCSI address 0 to function as an IPL device.
   The controller must also be in a specific slot reserved for IPL.
   The best way would be to IPL from the IBASE CD, then select Alternate
 Install Device from the IPL menu and select your tape drive.

   I need to quickly set up my 3570 tape drive as an IPL device. How do I
 go about doing that? I seem to recall that it has to be set at a certain
 SCSI setting - is that correct? It is in the system unit of my 820 and I
 could potentially move it to a different slot if needed.
