    • Automatic IPL: N
    Notes:
    • If you created a customized installation list, select install option 4 (Installed and additionally selected products). This option appears only if you followed the instructions to add an additional licensed program, which is described in step 10 in Preselecting the licensed programs to install.
    • In this example, the installation device is OPT01. If you are using a different naming convention, use the name you have assigned to the installation device.
    • If you are using your own distribution media, select 2 for the Install option field. For the Replace if current field, type Y.
    • If you are migrating data from one system to another system using documented backup and recovery procedures, type Y for the Replace if current field.
    • If you have not previously accepted software agreements for licensed programs that you plan to install, option 2 displays the software agreements for acceptance as each licensed program is installed. This will increase the length of your installation time. If you want to accept the software agreements now, complete step 6 and then return here.
  5. Status displays might appear. These displays show the status of the licensed programs and language objects as they install on the system. You do not need to respond to these status displays.
