Task 4: Loading the Licensed Internal Code from media

You need to load the Licensed Internal Code from media to complete the preparation.

Find the Licensed Internal Code tape or optical media. It is the first volume of the most current set of SAVSYS media or the first volume of the distribution optical media.
Notes:
- Do not use save media that was created through dedicated service tools (DST) by using option 5=Save Licensed Internal Code from the initial program load (IPL) or Install the System menu unless you have been instructed to do so by Software Services. The save media that you create through this process does not contain the Licensed Internal Code program temporary fix (PTF) inventory information or the i5/OS operating system. If you perform the recovery process using this save media, you will have to reinstall the Licensed Internal Code from either a SAVSYS media or from your distribution media before you can load any PTFs onto the system.
- Use the distribution media only if no SAVSYS media volume exists. If you use the distribution media, some system information will be lost. This includes, but is not limited to, PTFs and PTF packages. If you use the distribution media, you must reinstall all cumulative PTF packages and individual PTFs applied after the initial installation of your system.
Place the media volume in the device that you use for the IPL, or place the optical media in the optical disk unit. When you start the IPL, the system searches the alternate IPL devices for the correct media. For more information about loading the tape or optical media, see the setup manual for the device.
Notes:
- If you cannot load your alternate IPL device when the power is off, continue with the next step. The system prompts you later with a system reference code (SRC) code for the tape device or optical device.
- If you use a tape device that you enabled as an alternate installation device, you must load both the Licensed Internal Code CD-ROM and your tape media. (An alternate installation device is an alternate IPL device that is connected to a bus other than the system bus (bus 1).)
Turn on the power to the system.
If you could not load your media volume in step 2, load the first media volume into the device that you use for IPL. Make the device ready and then continue with the next step.
1. To perform an alternate IPL for a logical partition using the HMC, perform these steps:
  1. Expand your Management Environment in your HMC.
  2. Expand your system.
  3. Expand System and Partition.
  4. Click Systems Management.
  5. Expand Partitions.
  6. Select the partition.
  7. Right-click the partition and select Properties.
  8. In the Partition Properties window, click the Settings tab.
  9. Under the Boot category change the Keylock position to Manual and the IPL source to D.
  10. Click the OK button.
  11. Expand the partition.
  12. Right-click the partition profile and select Properties.
  13. Select the Tagged I/O tab.
  14. Under the Alternate restart device category press Select.
  15. Expand the unit.
  16. Expand the bus.
  17. Select the Slot with your I/O processor.
  18. Press Select.
  19. Press OK.
  20. If your system is powered off, right-click the partition, and select Activate. If your system is running, select Shut down partition, and then select Activate.
Ensure that the tape device or optical device is online or ready. No action is required for devices that perform this step automatically (such as the tape cartridge unit).

Ensure that the console display is turned on. After a delay, you should see the Install Licensed Internal Code menu. The length of the delay varies, depending on your system configuration and the speed of your alternate IPL device. The delay is typically between 5 minutes and 30 minutes. When you see this menu, continue with step 7.

If the system attention light appears and one of the SRC codes that are shown in Table 1 is displayed in the Data display, complete the instructions for that SRC code.

Note:

If you are using logical partitions, the SRC codes will be shown on the HMC under the operator panel value. End of change

Table 1. SRC codes when loading the Licensed Internal Code
SRC code	Why it appears	What you do
A1xx 1933 A12x 1933 ('x' is any character)	The device for the alternate IPL is not ready.	Make sure that you loaded the correct media volume. Make the device unit ready. Wait for the System Attention light to go off. Then continue with the next step. If the System Attention light stays on for more than 5 minutes, check to see if you have the correct tape loaded in the device for the alternate IPL and make the device ready. Then continue with the next step.
B1xx 1803 B1xx 1806 B1xx 1938	The device for the alternate IPL was not found or was not ready.	Make sure that you powered on the device, that you loaded the correct media volume, and the media volume is ready. Then continue with the next step.
B1xx 1934	The wrong media volume is loaded. Or the high-speed feature is enabled on the 2440 Tape Unit.	Load the correct media volume and make the device ready. Then continue with the next step or disable the high-speed feature on the 2440 Tape Unit.
B608 1105	This SRC occurs when you exit from the automatic installation because an alternate installation device attached to the system is enabled but is otherwise not ready. The device might not be ready because the media volume is not loaded or the device might not be enabled as an alternate installation device. Or, there might be a problem with the device.	Power down the system. If necessary, fix the device. Power on the system. Verify that the alternate installation device is enabled. Load the media volume in the alternate installation device and start the installation procedure again.
2507 0001 2642 0001 2643 0001	A media volume is not loaded in the device for the alternate IPL.	Make sure the correct media volume is loaded in the correct device. Then continue with the next step.
2644 3136	The device is assigned to another system.	Go to the other system and vary off the device. Make sure that you loaded the correct media volume. Then continue with the next step.
Any other SRC	The system encountered a problem loading the Licensed Internal Code.

You are shown the Install Licensed Internal Code display.
