Troubleshooting
Problem
This document contains information about the media type identifiers and also includes a table which shows all the available languages that are shipped within the IBM i V7R3 and later installation media.
Resolving The Problem
Media type identifiers
Labels on the distribution media that are used for installation have unique identifiers. Media type identifiers are located on the center of the label. These identifiers help you determine when to use each media volume.
When you are ready to install your new software, you should arrange the media in this order:
The following links list the IBM i 7.3 and later media labels and their contents
Feature codes for language version
Use this table to locate the appropriate IBM i feature code for your primary or secondary language.
Labels on the distribution media that are used for installation have unique identifiers. Media type identifiers are located on the center of the label. These identifiers help you determine when to use each media volume.
When you are ready to install your new software, you should arrange the media in this order:
| 1. | Licensed Machine Code - I_BASE_01 This language independent Licensed Machine Code (Licensed Internal Code) supports all language versions. The Licensed Machine Code is part of the standard set of media. |
| 2. | Multiple language version media - B_GROUPx_nn This media contains the multiple language versions of the operating system, IBM-supplied libraries, no charge options, no-charge licensed programs, and keyed products. For the media identifier string B_GROUPx_nn, x indicates the language group and nn indicates a sequence number. |
| 3. | F_MULTI_NLV This media contains some additional programs, products, single licensed programs, or options. |
| 4. | N29xx_01 Secondary Language Media This media contains only language objects for the indicated secondary language. For secondary language media, the value for 29xx is the feature code of the secondary language as used for installation. |

Note: When you install the operating system, the system prompts for the primary language in the form 29xx.
When you install the secondary language, you select a feature code, in the form 29xx, from a list of national language feature code identifiers.
For example, if you ordered French for your primary language and Arabic as your secondary language, you would specify 2928 as your primary language when installing the operating system and select 2954 from the list of feature codes when you install the secondary language.
