Restoring previous release user data to a new system
Perform these steps on the new, target system to restore previous release user data to it. You will first install only the Licensed Internal Code and the IBM® i operating system from the I_Base distribution media for the target release. Do not install any of the base options or licensed programs at this time.
Note: If you ordered a new system with
feature code 0205, refer to the Installing, upgrading, or deleting IBM i and
related software topic, and then go to step 31.
Check off each item as you complete the task on the target system.
- If you use the Operations Console with local
area network (LAN) connectivity, you might need to manually reset
the service tools device ID password on the system to be the same
as the IBM i device
ID to connect to the Operations Console. After you begin the step, you must continue until you have performed the initial program load (IPL) from Save System (SAVSYS) media. Do not perform this as a preliminary step. If you are using Operations Console, you only have to reset the service tools device ID password on the system. The client attempts to sign on using the reset device ID password for Operations Console.
- If you are using Operations Console, LAN, or direct connect, disconnect from your system and close Operations Console. Restart Operations Console and reconnect by using the user ID of 11111111 and password of 11111111 to sign on to your system.
- IPL the system from the first distribution media.
- Mount the first distribution media on the alternate IPL device. Wait for the READY status.
- At the central processing unit (CPU) control panel, place the system in MANUAL mode.
- Press the Function Select switch (or buttons) to display 02 (IPL) in the Function display.
- Press Enter.
- Press the Function Select switch (or buttons) to display D (IPL from tape or DVD) in the Data display.
- Press Enter.
- If the system is powered down, press the power button on the system to power the system on.
- If the system is powered on, press the Function Select switch (or buttons) to display 03 (continue the IPL) in the Function display.
- Press Enter.
If you are using an Hardware Management Console (HMC) to perform an IPL of the system from alternate media, complete the steps in Task 3: Preparing to start the system from an alternate IPL device.
- You will see one of the
following two displays. This shows the language on the distribution
media. Press Enter to accept this language value.
Select a Language Group The language feature shown is the service tools language feature installed on the system. Attention: To keep the same language, ensure that the media you use for installing the operating system matches the language feature shown. If the operating system media does not match what is shown, the installation process will attempt to install the operating system in a different language feature than Licensed Internal Code. Type choice, press Enter. Language feature . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2924LANGUAGE FEATURE ===> 2924 - Press Enter to confirm the language group.
