Viewing and accepting the Virtual I/O Server license

You must view and accept the license before using the Virtual I/O Server.

Before you start, ensure that the Virtual I/O Server logical partition profile is created and the Virtual I/O Server is installed. For instructions, see Installing the Virtual I/O Server and client logical partitions.

To view and accept the Virtual I/O Server license, complete the following steps:

Log in to the Virtual I/O Server using the padmin user ID.
Choose a new password. The software maintenance terms and conditions are displayed.
If Virtual I/O Server is at Version 1.5 or later, view and accept the software maintenance terms and conditions.
1. To view the software maintenance terms and conditions, type v on the command line and press enter.
2. To accept the software maintenance terms and conditions, type a on the command line and press enter.
View and accept the Virtual I/O Server product license.
Note: If you installed the Virtual I/O Server by deploying a system plan, then you already accepted the Virtual I/O Server product license and do not need to complete this step.
1. To view the Virtual I/O Server product license, type license -ls on the command line. By default, the license is displayed in English. To change the language in which the license is displayed, follow these steps:
  1. View the list of available locales to display the license by typing the following command:
```
license -ls
```
  2. View the license in another language by typing the following command:
```
license -view -lang Name
```
    For example, to view the license in Japanese, type the following command:
```
license -view -lang ja_JP
```
2. To accept the Virtual I/O Server product license, type license -accept on the command line.
In the installation program, English is the default language. To change the language setting for the system, follow these steps:
1. View the available languages by typing the following command:
```
chlang -ls
```
2. Change the language by typing the following command, replacing Name with the name of the language you are switching to, as follows:
```
chlang -lang Name
```
  Note: If the language file set is not installed, use the -dev Media flag to install it.
  For example, to install and change the language to Japanese, type the following command:
```
chlang -lang ja_JP -dev /dev/cd0
```
