Installing the KSYS filesets

The KSYS filesets must be installed on the identified logical partition (LPAR), which is preferably in the backup site. You can run the geninstall command or use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) panel to install the filesets on the LPAR.

Before you install the KSYS filesets, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

You must have root authority to perform the installation tasks.
Identify the host that you will use to create the KSYS node. The host must be preferably in the backup site during the normal (non-disaster) conditions.
You must have already created an LPAR in the identified host that has IBM® AIX® 7.2 with Technology Level 1, or later, installed.
Ensure that you have enough space in this LPAR so that KSYS filesets can be installed successfully. You might want to have 30 MB of disk space in the /opt directory and 200 MB of disk space in the /var directory.

To install the KSYS filesets in the identified LPAR, complete the following steps:

Download the GDR software components from Entitled Systems Support (ESS) website: http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ess/index.wss
Copy the filesets to any location from where you want to install the filesets.
Uncompress the filesets as per the guidelines that are provided with the package.

Install the filesets by using one of the following steps:

To install the filesets by using command-line interface, enter the following command:
Note: This method must be used when you have only KSYS-related software in the directory.
```
geninstall -I "a -cgNQqwXY -J" -Z -d . -f File
```

To install the filesets by using SMIT panel, complete the following steps:

To open the SMIT panel, enter the following command:
```
smit install
```
