Installing Licensed Internal Code on the new logical partition

To install the Licensed Internal Code, follow these procedures.

If you are using physical media, load the first volume of installation media that contains the Licensed Internal Code into the installation device that is defined for the system. Throughout these procedures, load the next volume when prompted by the system. Wait for the In Use indicator to go out. Also ensure that you have removed other media from devices that are not involved in the upgrade.
Note: The optical media that you will need later for the operating system and other licensed programs are listed in step 2 .
Make sure you can access either the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or the Integrated Virtualization Manager to control your new logical partition.
If power is not on, go to Logical partitioning for more information and return here when done.
Ensure the following for the new logical partition:
- If you are using Operations Console, see the GettingStarted document in the Documentation directory of the IBM i Access Client Solutions CD. Section 9.9 Establishing a Console Connection to IBM i provides instruction on connecting a LAN console.
Verify that this logical partition has an alternate IPL resource (the resource for loading) assigned. For more information about alternate IPL resources, see the I/O devices topic.
Load the installation media volume that contains the Licensed Internal Code into the installation resource defined for this logical partition. Before you go to the next step, be sure that no conditions exist that require your attention.
Note: If you are using a tape device instead of the optical device that is optimized for optical media, verify that the tape unit is loaded and that the tape drive is ready.
Use the control panel to verify or to set the mode selection to Manual and the IPL source to D. These settings indicate that you are controlling the logical partition from the HMC, but the installation is done on the logical partition.
Use the control panel to power on or activate this logical partition.
Wait for the display to appear that has the language feature to select. (This could take several minutes, but you can monitor the status.)
If you are using Operations Console and it is not detected, review Troubleshooting Operations Console connection or contact your service provider.

Note: If you are using Operations Console and receive a Service Device Sign-On window when doing this step, sign on by using the appropriate data. It is strongly recommended that you use the userid/password of QSECOFR/QSECOFR for this connection. If you do not receive the Service Device Sign-On window, the data is supplied by the personal computer from previously entered data.

The installation media for Licensed Internal Code is language-independent. It is important that you complete this step carefully.

The languages on your media for the Licensed Internal Code and the operating system must match. The language that is entered on this display must match the language that is on the media. If they do not match, do not continue with the installation. Stop and call your software provider. Get the correct language feature before continuing.

Refer to Feature codes for language version to locate the appropriate feature code for your language.
```
     















  LANGUAGE FEATURE ===>   2924            
```
The language feature 2924 (English) is the default for this display. If you are installing a language other than 2924, type the correct primary language feature code in place of 2924.

Press Enter.

After you enter the language feature, the Confirm Language Group display appears.

               Confirm Language Group
 
 
   Language feature  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   2924
 
   Press Enter to confirm your choice for language feature.
   Press F12 to change your choice for language feature.

Press Enter.

The Dedicated Service Tool (DST) Sign on display appears. Enter service tool user ID QSECOFR with password QSECOFR.
The Install Licensed Internal Code display appears.
```
                        Install Licensed Internal Code
                                                         System: XXXX
 Select one of the following:
 
      1. Install Licensed Internal Code
      2. Work with Dedicated Service Tools (DST)
      3. Define alternate installation device
 
```
Attention:
If you use an alternate installation device, you need to ensure that you set up the device and that you enable the device. You also need to have the optical media or tape media that contains the Licensed Internal Code and your save media.

Either select the option to install Licensed Internal Code or the option to define an alternate installation device:
- Type 1 (Install Licensed Internal Code) if you are not using an alternate installation device. (The alternate installation device function supports installation from tape media that you have created. Alternate installation device: Overview describes when you can use an alternate installation device.) If you are not using an alternate installation device, go on to step 15.
- If you have an alternate installation device attached to the system, type 3 to verify its address and determine whether it is enabled or disabled. Continue with the Verifying Alternate Installation Device Subtask in step 12. If you have an alternate installation device configured and do not want to use it, type 3 to clear the alternate installation device configuration information.
Press Enter. This step could take some time.
