Charles,

Here's the other list I was thinking of.

IBM I IBM i and related software Installing, upgrading, or deleting IBM i
and related software 7.1 SC41-5120-11

Chapter 8. Checklist: Completing the IBM i upgrade or Replacement

Use this checklist to complete the IBM i upgrade or replacement processes.
1. If you still have default passwords for your service tools user IDs,
change
them now. For information about service tools user IDs, see Changing
service
tools user IDs and passwords in the IBM i Information Center.
2. Remove the media volume when the installation is complete. If your
media is
tape, wait for the tape to rewind completely.
3. If you have any IBM or non-IBM products with special installation
instructions, install these products now. Check the product's
documentation,
and follow any special instructions.
4. Install the most current cumulative PTF package. (This package should
have
been ordered a week or two before your installation.) Use the instructions
in
the PTF Shipping Information Letter. Then return here and continue with the
next step.
Note: If you do not install the cumulative PTF package now, you need to
perform an IPL and let the Initialize System (INZSYS) process complete.
Before you do, set the IPL type to B (or the IPL type you use for
everyday operation) and then set the mode selection to Normal.
"Initialize System (INZSYS) recovery" on page 178 has more
information on INZSYS.
5. Apply any PTF groups that you have ordered. For more information on PTF
groups, refer to "Reviewing software PTF (fix) requirements" on page 29. To
apply PTF groups, refer to the cover letter and instructions for the
program
temporary fix (PTF). For general information on applying PTFs, go to
Installing fixes in the IBM i Information Center.
6. If your system is operating as a service partition and your system is
not being
managed by a Hardware Management Console, you might be required to
perform a server IPL. A server IPL is an IPL whereby all logical
partitions on
the system are shut down at the same time. This allows, for example, a new
level of the server firmware to be activated on the system.
You might be required to perform a server IPL after you apply or remove a
PTF on the service partition if that PTF affects the server firmware.
v To find out if you need to do a server IPL, type DSPFMWSTS on the IBM i
control language (CL) command line and press Enter. If a server IPL is
required, the Server IPL required field is set to Yes.
v To find out if your system is operating as a service partition, type
DSPFMWSTS
on the CL command line and press Enter. If your system is operating as a
service partition, the Service partition field is set to Yes.
Note: When shutting down your service partition, reference codes D6xx430B
or D6xx430A could be displayed for an extended amount of time. The
xx should increment periodically and is a normal part of processing
when server firmware code is being updated. Allow the system to
complete the processing. Do not interrupt this process.
7. Look for messages in the install history log that indicate the status
of the
Initialize System (INZSYS) process.
a. Type GO LICPGM and press Enter.
(c) Copyright IBM Corp. 1998, 2010 93
b. Type 50 (Display log) on the Work with Licensed Programs display, and
press Enter.
c. The Display Install History display appears. Press Enter.
The Display History Log Contents display appears. If you do not see either
of
the following messages on the display, wait a few minutes and select option
50 again. Find the message Initialize System (INZSYS) started. After this
message appears, wait for a period of time and look for the Initialize
System (INZSYS) processing completed successfully message (CPC37A9). If
you do not see message CPC37A9 on the display, go to "Initialize System
(INZSYS) recovery" on page 178 to determine the problem.
8. If you see the message An unexpected error occurred during an IPsec
request in the QSYSOPR message queue, the Internet Protocol filtering rules
might have failed to load. To help you determine why the loading of
filtering
rules failed, review the messages in the QTCPWRK system job log and search
for TCP9535 (Failed to apply filtering rules). You will need to load your
filter rules again.
9. If you used an image catalog to perform your upgrade, you might want to
remove all installation images from your system. To delete the catalog and
all
the optical images (image files), type the following:
DLTIMGCLG IMGCLG(mycatalog) KEEP(*NO)
10. If you used an image catalog to perform your installation and you used
the
Start ASP Balance (STRASPBAL) command to end the allocation for storage in
the load-source disk unit before you upgraded, enter the Start ASP Balance
(STRASPBAL) command to resume the allocation of storage for the
load-source disk unit.
STRASPBAL TYPE(*RSMALC) UNIT(1)
STRASPBAL TYPE(*CAPACITY) ASP(1) TIMLMT(*NOMAX)
11. If your service tools language is different than your primary
language, you
might want to verify that the service tools language is the one that you
want
on the system or logical partition. For details, refer to Changing the
service
tools language on your system or logical partition in the IBM i Information
Center.
12. Install software license keys for your IBM i and keyed products. Use
the Work
with License Information (WRKLICINF) command to display the installed
keyed products to add license key data. For specific instructions, go to
Adding
license key information in the IBM i Information Center.
After updating the license key information, return here and continue with
the
next step.
13. After you complete the installation process and before you make a
system or
partition available to all users, set the usage limit for the
software-license
managed products. These products are listed on the Proof of Entitlement
(POE), invoice, or other documents that you have received with your
software
order. For products that have a usage limit, you set the usage limit with
the
Work with License Information (WRKLICINF) command.
To set your usage limit, do the following:
a. Type WRKLICINF and press Enter.
b. On the Work with License Information display, press F11 (Display Usage
Information). The usage limit number on each product that is listed on the
POE, invoice, or other documents must match the usage limit number on
the Work with License Information display for the associated product.
c. If the usage limit is to be updated, move the cursor to the line that
contains the product name whose usage limit is to be updated.
94 IBM i: IBM i and related software Installing, upgrading, or deleting
IBM i and related software
d. Type 2 (Change) and press Enter.
e. When the Change License Information display is shown, update the usage
limit prompt with the usage limit shown on the POE. In addition, update
the threshold prompt with either *CALC or *USGLMT. Do not leave the
threshold set to zero.
Note: If message CPA9E1B [Usage limit increase must be authorized.
Press help before replying (C G).] is sent, respond by typing G.
f. If the POE lists more products than the Work with License Information
display, set the usage limits after you install those products.
14. If you deleted any licensed program libraries or secondary language
libraries
from either of the library list system values [system library list
(QSYSLIBL) or
user library list (QUSRLIBL)], change system values QSYSLIBL or QUSRLIBL
to add the libraries back in the library list now.
15. If you changed the verify object signatures during restore (QVFYOBJRST)
system value from 4 or 5 to 3 or had unlocked it before your upgrade,
change
this back to its normal setting. If you have additional software
applications,
however, that were included in the upgrade, keep them at 3 until after you
restore them. If you changed the allow restore of security sensitive
objects
(QALWOBJRST) system value to *ALL or had unlocked it before the upgrade,
return the value to its normal locked setting.
16. If you changed the scan control (QSCANFSCTL) system value to minimize
future scanning of some objects that are restored before you installed your
licensed programs, you can now remove the *NOPOSTRST specification from
this system value.
17. If you changed any other system value such as security level
(QSECURITY)
during your upgrade, change it back now.
18. Some of the tasks in this topic require that you change the QSYSOPR
severity
code filter to 95. If you do not want to continue with this level or you
want to
change the delivery notification, type CHGMSGQ QSYSOPR DLVRY(xx) SEV(yy)
where xx indicates the delivery notification and yy indicates the severity
code
that you want to use. The system defaults are DLVRY(*HOLD) SEV(0).
19. If you have installed the product 5722-VI1, Content Manager, you can
use the
product. However, you must perform post-installation commands. For more
information, refer to the Post Installation section in the product
document IBM
ImagePlus(r) VisualInfo for AS/400(r): Planning and Installation Guide,
GC34-4585.
20. If you have not already verified the compatibility of your licensed
programs
with the IBM i operating system, do this now. Use LICPGM menu option 10,
Display installed licensed programs. If *COMPATIBLE is not listed next to a
licensed program, then go to "Installed status values" on page 218 and
determine how to proceed.
21. Depending on your strategy for object conversion, consider running the
Start
Object Conversion (STROBJCVN) command to either convert user objects or
check which objects still require conversion.
22. Save your system using your normal save procedures. Refer to the
instructions in the Backing up your system topic in the IBM i Information
Center. Make sure that the Initialize System (INZSYS) process is complete
before you save your system.
Note: Before you start a save operation, use the Work with Active Jobs
(WRKACTJOB) command to check the status of QDCPOBJx jobs. These
jobs decompress objects. There could be more than one QDCPOBJx job.
You can start your save operation if these jobs are in an inactive state.
If
Chapter 8. Checklist: Completing the IBM i upgrade or replacement 95
you put the system in a restricted state by ending subsystems, the
QDCPOBJx jobs become inactive. The jobs will restart when the system
is not in a restricted state. For more information about decompressing
objects, see "Compressed objects and storage space" on page 18.
23. If you have installed IBM i Access Family products, you might have
other
tasks that you need to complete. You can find further information about
installing IBM i Access Family products in the following sources:
v IBM i Access for Windows in the IBM i Information Center.
v The IBM i Access Family Web site (http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/
software/access/).
24. You might have installed licensed programs that require additional
installation
steps on PCs, or you might have programs that should be installed on PCs
through an IBM i Access Family function. If you have products such as
these,
complete your PC installation by using the instructions for the product.
25. If you have a IBM i integration with BladeCenter and System x that you
stopped before you began the installation process, restart it now.
a. Type GO NWSADM on a CL command line. The Network Server
Administration display appears.
b. Select option 2 (Start a network server).
26. If you installed 5770-TC1, TCP/IP Utilities, go to the topic TCP/IP
setup in
the IBM i Information Center for advanced configuration and setup
information.
27. If you have customized an IBM-supplied program (for example, QSTRUP in
library QSYS) in a previous release, make sure that you re-create this
program
to run correctly in the new release.
28. If you have duplicated any IBM-supplied objects, you might want to make
new duplicates after you install the release. This enables you to take
advantage of functions added in the new release. Examples of objects that
you
might duplicate include the following:
v Message text descriptions
v Commands
v Command defaults
29. If you use the IBM Performance Management for Power Systems(tm)
function,
the Collection Services tool, or the Performance Tools licensed program and
you collected data before installing your new release, you need to perform
an
action to enable the collecting of performance data to continue.
You have the following choices regarding how to handle your performance
data from the prior release:
v Convert the data.
Use the Convert Performance Collection (CVTPFRCOL) command to
convert the data in the collection library. This command supports data
conversion for Collection Services, PEX, Job Watcher, and Disk Watcher file
collections.
v Automatic data collection support. When Collection Services is started at
IPL, a performance library for the prior release files is created.
Collection
Service database files are moved to that library. This action allows new
files
to be created and preserves the existing data files from the previous
release.
You should be aware of the following items:
- The library name that is created is QPFRDvrmnn, where vrm is the
current version, release, and modification and nn is a unique sequence
number starting with 01, for example, QPFRD52001.
96 IBM i: IBM i and related software Installing, upgrading, or deleting
IBM i and related software
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The library is created with *EXCLUDE public authority. The library is
owned by the QSYS user profile, and the owner of the original library is
given *ALL authority.
- All QAPMxxxx files are moved.
- If you do not want to keep the data from the previous release, you can
delete the QPFRDvrmnn library with the Delete Library (DLTLIB)
command (DLTLIB qpfrdvrmnn)
You have completed upgrading to the new release on your system.

Subject: New System - TODO's

All,

Does IBM document a list of TODO's for a new system?

Wayback when, on our first box running v3r6...I recall some initial
setup instructions for a new system. One step for instance was
picking a new system name.

I'd expect setting the system CCSID to be part of this list of TODO's.
Probably reviewing other system values for that matter.

It's been not quite 20 years since I had a brand new system, rather
than migrating from an existing system to new hardware.

Thanks!
Charles
