Starting the manual installation process again
If you want to start the IBM® i manual installation process again after recovering from an error, use one of these methods.
Method | Instructions |
---|---|
Method 1: Licensed Internal Code | When to use: This method should be used if the Licensed Internal Code needs to be installed again. If you are sure the Licensed Internal Code has been successfully installed, you do not need to use this method. No message indicates that the Licensed Internal Code has been installed successfully; however, messages do indicate that the operating system has been installed successfully. If the operating system has been installed successfully, so has the Licensed Internal Code. How to use: To start an installation process again, use the instructions in Upgrading or replacing software using manual installation. |
Method 2: Operating System | When to use: If you are sure the Licensed Internal Code has been installed successfully, use Method 2 to install the operating system again. Method 2 is faster than using Method 1 because the Licensed Internal Code does not need to be installed again. No message indicates that the Licensed Internal Code has been installed successfully; however, messages do indicate that the operating system has been installed successfully. If the operating system has been installed successfully, so has the Licensed Internal Code. How to use:

Method 3: Licensed Programs | When to use: This method should be used if several licensed programs are not installed. How to use: To start an installation process again using method 3, use option 1 (Install all) on the Work with Licensed Programs display. Refer to Manual installation Option 1. Install all. |
Method 4: Licensed Programs | When to use: This method should be used if one or more licensed programs are not installed and you want to install only those licensed programs or optional parts that failed. How to use: To start the installation of only those licensed programs or optional parts that failed, use the instructions in Installing additional licensed programs. Complete all of the instructions in that part. |
Method 5: PTFs | When to use: This method can be used if only one or two licensed programs had PTFs that failed to install. Consider installing PTFs for only those licensed programs that failed. How to use: To install PTFs for selected licensed programs, use the GO PTF menu and select option 7 (Install a program temporary fix from a list). |
Method 6: PTFs | When to use: This method should be used if several licensed programs had PTFs that failed to install. Consider installing the entire cumulative PTF package again. How to use: To install the cumulative PTF package, use the instructions in the System PTF Shipping Information Letter. |
