Step 5. Build and verify the target system

z/OS Planning for Installation
GA32-0890-02

The target system is the system software libraries and other data sets that you are installing. You log on to the driving system and run jobs there to create or update the target system. Once the target system is built, it can be IPLed on the same hardware (same LPAR or same processor) or different hardware than that used for the driving system.

ServerPac or SystemPac dump-by-data-set installation:
  1. Install or upgrade target system hardware that you chose in Step 1 and ordered in Step 2.

    Reference information: related product documentation.

  2. Review PSP buckets for the latest installation information.

    Reference information: PSP information.

  3. Prepare target system volumes for installation.

    Reference information: Preparing for installation.

  4. Receive the ServerPac or SystemPac order to DASD.

    Reference information: ServerPac: Using the Installation Dialog or SystemPac: CustomPac Dialog Reference.

  5. Select the type of installation you prefer: full system replacement or software upgrade. Each requires a different amount of work and a different order of tasks.

    Reference information: ServerPac: Using the Installation Dialog or SystemPac: CustomPac Dialog Reference.

  6. Create and tailor the work configuration.

    Reference information: ServerPac: Using the Installation Dialog or SystemPac: CustomPac Dialog Reference.

  7. Run installation jobs. The jobs install distribution and target libraries for your target system.

    Reference information: ServerPac: Installing Your Order or SystemPac Installation Guide.

  8. Review system HOLDs and latest Enhanced HOLDDATA in the CPAC.DOCLIB data set in the ServerPac or SystemPac order and at http://service.boulder.ibm.com/390holddata.html.

    Reference information: Maintenance after installation.

  9. Run element-specific post-installation jobs on the driving system.

    Reference information: ServerPac: Installing Your Order or SystemPac Installation Guide.

  10. If upgrading, perform pre-first-IPL migration tasks for z/OS®. These migration actions were identified in Step 1 and have a timing of "before the first IPL of z/OS V2R1" in z/OS Migration.

    Reference information: z/OS publications (http://www.ibm.com/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/)

  11. If upgrading, perform pre-first-IPL migration tasks for IBM® middleware, IBM applications, and ISV products. These migration actions were identified in Step 1.

    Reference information: IBM product publications and ISV publications.

  12. IPL the target system and log on.

    Reference information: ServerPac: Installing Your Order or SystemPac Installation Guide.

  13. Run element-specific post-installation jobs on the target system.

    Reference information: ServerPac: Installing Your Order or SystemPac Installation Guide.

  14. Run installation verification programs (IVPs).

    Reference information: ServerPac: Installing Your Order or SystemPac Installation Guide.

  15. Download client code to workstations, if applicable.

    Reference information: element-specific documentation.

  16. Apply service to target system software, if necessary.

    Reference information: If you are installing a z/OS ServerPac or Product ServerPac order . . . or If you are installing a z/OS SystemPac order....

  17. Save the customized configuration.

    Reference information: ServerPac: Using the Installation Dialog or SystemPac: CustomPac Dialog Reference.

  18. Back up the system.

    Reference information: Making a copy of your system software (cloning).

CBPDO installation:
  1. Install or upgrade target system hardware.

    Reference information: related product documentation.

  2. Review PSP buckets for the latest installation information.

    Reference information: PSP information.

  3. Clone the system.

    Reference information: Making a copy of your system software (cloning).

  4. Update SMP/E zone entries.

    Reference information: For the z/OS Program Directory, see the z/OS installation related informationwebsite.

  5. Create "FMIDSETs" that you will install in stages called "waves".

    Reference information: See the z/OS Program Directory at the z/OS installation related information website.

  6. Install Wave 0. See the z/OS Program Directory at the z/OS installation related information website.
  7. Install Wave 1 and, if upgrading, perform pre-first-IPL migration tasks for z/OS, IBM middleware, IBM applications, and ISV products. (The pre-first-IPL migration tasks for z/OS were identified in Step 1 and have a timing of "before the first IPL of z/OS V2R1" in z/OS Migration.)

    Reference information: z/OS publications (http://www.ibm.com/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/), IBM product publications, and ISV publications.

  8. Install Wave 2 and, if upgrading, perform pre-first-IPL migration tasks for z/OS, IBM middleware, IBM applications, and ISV products. (The pre-first-IPL migration tasks for z/OS were identified in Step 1 and have a timing of "before the first IPL of z/OS V2R1" in z/OS Migration.)

    z/OS Program Directory at the z/OS installation related information website, and z/OS publications (http://www.ibm.com/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/), IBM product publications, and ISV publications.

  9. Download client code to workstations, if applicable.

    Reference information: element-specific documentation.

  10. Apply service to target system software, if necessary.

    Reference information: If you are installing a z/OS CBPDO order....

  11. Back up the system.

    Reference information: Making a copy of your system software (cloning).

SystemPac full volume dump installation:
  1. Install or upgrade target system hardware.

    Reference information: related product documentation.

  2. Review PSP buckets for the latest installation information.
