Nice catch Rob, It's gonna be way easier to create one LPAR with all
the equipment and do it once.

Looks good. Are you repeating for each lpar, or, are you destroying all
lpars and combining them into one new one?

midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx Gentlemen, Looks my management has
agreed for me to do the following steps at the remote site on Monday
03/04. Since the Hardware is not under IBM Support if I needed
assistance I would not be able to call them for help. Would anyone on
this list be willing for me to call them Monday if I needed additional
help? It would really be appreciated. Thanks, Rogers o Insert the CD
labeled "I_BASE_01" (it should have Licensed Internal Code or LIC
written on it) into the system CD/DVD drive (preferably the newest CD
that you can find that matches your currently installed operating
system i.e. V5R3, V5R4, etc. -- usually indicated by a re-spin or
revision code beginning with RS* example: RSB, RSF, RSK, etc.). o
Change the front panel of the system to MANUAL mode (Use the front
panel buttons to change/increment the 01 to 02 and press the accept
button -- usually the middle one -- and continue to adjust each letter
from there until the panel shows "02 D M") o Once the system shows "02
D M", change the 02 back to 01 so the front panel shows "01 D M" and
press the accept button and confirm the change. o Once the front panel
shows "01 D M", sign on to the HMC and Shutdown the Server then Start
it back up and IPL from the CD. o This will usually take 30-45 minutes
and will then display a screen on the console to select a language for
the Licensed Internal Code (LIC). Select the language 2924 if
requested and press <enter> to confirm. o The first menu should show
an Option 1 to Install Licensed Internal Code. Take this option and
press <enter>. o The next menu should show an Option 2 to Install
Licensed Internal Code and Initialize System. Take this option and
press <enter>. o Press the appropriate function key (usually F10) to
continue the install of the Licensed Internal Code (LIC). The system
will initialize the load source drive and install LIC from the CD.
This process usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes, sometimes longer. o
Once the load source is initialized and LIC installation is complete,
the system will perform an IPL of the Licensed Internal Code (LIC). o
You may get a couple of messages regarding disk or console settings,
just press F10 as necessary to continue through these messages. o The
system should then take you to IPL / Install Operating System /
Dedicated Service Tools (DST) menu. o Take the option to go into DST
(usually option 3) o Sign on to DST with user profile QSECOFR and pwd
QSECOFR (all caps). o Take the option to Work with Disk Units --
usually option 4. o Take the option to Work with Disk Configuration --
usually option 1. o Take the option to Work with ASP Configuration --
usually option 3. o Take the option to Add Units to the ASPs --
usually option 3. o Type a "1" in front of all the available disk
drive (DASD) units on the screen (you may need to page down to get all
of them) and press <enter> to confirm. (You may get some messages
regarding disk or DASD settings, press F10 as necessary to continue
through these messages.) The process to add these drives may take up
to two hours, depending on your system and the quantity and size of
disk drives you are adding. o Once the drives are added, power down
the system by pressing the white power button on the front panel. Some
systems require you to press the button a second time and some require
you to hold the button down for several seconds until it starts to
shut down. Otherwise, you can just unplug it and you are done!
