Re: OS/400 V5R1 install problem -- MIDRANGE-L

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]
Not that helps the current problem, but this is why when you go to V5R2 you
want to use the image catalogue.  I used them when upgrading to V5R2, and I
thought the upgrade was easier and quicker. They did seem to take up a lot of
space, but then think about it you have 10 CDs with 650MB on them, that you
are loading onto your machine.

Jay,

Verify the contents of your disks so that you know what hasn't been
installed.  You should also be able to review your installation history,
which may also give you a good detailed listing.  Somewhere in the
packing lists should be a listing of the contents of each disk.

If you're cool with the SLIC and the whole OS, then your plan sounds
reasonable.  I would do a cume PTF apply between steps three and four
below, then again after the licensed program install.  (Now that you're
getting really good at it ;-))

*Whew*.

(And yes, I was able to eject the CD with a paper clip.)



Are you in need of immediate advice?  Does this machine have to be


in


production soon or can you be a little more relaxed?


Well, it needs to be in production soon, with "soon" defined as "the


next


couple of days", not "the next 45 minutes". We've got a project that's
waiting on V5R1, but it's been waiting for a month now.

I got the "automatic installation not complete" message, then the sign


on


panel. I've signed on as QSECOFR, and done nothing else (yet). My


guess is


that I should:

1) PWRDWNSYS *IMMED RESTART(*NO)
2) Replace the CD drive while the system's off.
3) Start the system, and allow INZSYS to complete.
4) Install any licensed programs from CDs 4 and 5 that aren't


completely


installed (*COMPATIBLE status).
5) Install the CUMPTF package.
6) Re-IPL.

This should, I'm guessing, get me to the fully installed state. Is


there


anything else I should do?
