After you install Licensed Internal Code,
you need to set up your disk configuration. Use the dedicated service tools (DST) debug mode to
access disk management functions in Navigator for i where you can configure disk units in system, basic, and independent auxiliary
storage pools (ASPs).
When you install the Licensed Internal Code by using option 2 from
the Install Licensed Internal Code (LIC)
menu, the system does the following tasks:
- The system clears disk unit 1. Disk unit 1 contains information
about how all the other disk units on your system are configured.
If you are using logical partitioning, disk unit 1 also contains your
partitioning configuration data.
- The system prepares to delete all data in the system ASP. The system ASP is not cleared until
you do the initial program load (IPL) after you install the Licensed Internal Code.
When you are finished configuring disk units,
you can complete the step-mode IPL.
Note: Configure the Service Tools Network Interface to do these steps.
- You might receive a Disk Configuration Attention Report like the following one after you
load the Licensed Internal Code.
If so, press F10 to accept the problems and continue.
