Task 6: Completing the initial program load

You can learn how to complete the initial program load (IPL).

Press F3 to continue the IPL.

The Edit Rebuild of Access Paths display is shown during the IPL process (attended mode) when system access paths are marked for rebuild.

The Task 2: Editing the rebuilding of access paths topic describes how to interpret and update this display.

A status message is sent to notify the user that the system is performing access path recovery.

Make any changes and press the Enter key.
If you have made changes, the Edit Rebuild of Access Paths display is shown again confirming your changes or showing your error messages. Repeat this step until the Display Access Path Status display is shown or the IPL continues.
The Display Access Path Status display is updated every 5 seconds while the system is rebuilding access paths.

If you want to make changes, press F12 (Cancel) to return to the Edit Rebuild of Access Paths display. If all access paths are rebuilt or you no longer want to see the display, press F3 (Exit and continue IPL).

Note: The rebuild of access paths requires system memory. It is suggested that you avoid a high level of system activity so that the rebuild of access paths can complete.

The Edit Check Pending Constraints display is shown if referential constraints need to be verified.

Task 3: Editing check pending constraints topic describes how to interpret and update this display.

Make any changes and press the Enter key.
The Edit Check Pending Constraints display is shown again confirming your changes or showing your error messages if you have made changes. Repeat this step until the Display Constraint Status display is shown or the IPL continues.

The Display Constraint Status display is updated every 5 seconds while the system is verifying constraints.

If you want to make changes, press F12 (Cancel) to return to the Edit Check Pending Constraints display. Press F3 (Exit and continue IPL) if all constraints are verified or you no longer want to see the display.

Press the Enter key if QSYSOPR messages are displayed.
You might receive A900 2000 on the control panel for the system or logical partition, or message CPF0975, Console did not vary on, on the console display.
This occurs if your system configuration was lost and you have disabled automatic configuration. The system has created device description QCONSOLE to allow you to continue the restore operation. You might also receive SRC A900 2000 if you perform an IPL when the QIPLTYPE system value is set to 2. Do not create a user-defined device description for the console display. This can cause unpredictable results.
If you receive this message, perform the steps that are described in Recovering from SRC A900 2000 before continuing.
If you restored from the distribution media by using a 1/4-inch cartridge tape drive, the light on the tape drive might still be on.
After the system has finished restoring the operating system, you can remove the tape while the light is on.
