Starting point for automatic installation recovery
If you used the automatic installation process (replacing an IBM® i release using automatic installation), use the following information to determine where the failure occurred and the appropriate recovery action.
After you have the problem corrected, go to Starting the automatic installation process again.
- To use automatic installation recovery, you must use the same version, release, and modification distribution media that caused the failure.
- If you have a failure during the automatic installation process and sign on to do problem analysis, your system will be running under the QSYSSBSD controlling subsystem. When your system completes an IPL after the installation has completed successfully, your controlling subsystem is active again.
