You'll have to do a D mode IPL to an I_BASE_** DVD for whichever OS your
loading. When choosing the option to load the LIC, chose option 2, to
initialize the system. After LIC is loaded then you'll need to add the disk
to the system, doing that will cause all of them to be reformatted. If they
are marked read only (i.e. labeled like: DPH001. The "H" signifies it's
read only) then you will need to use work with disk recovery to initialize
the disk units first.
You'll have a system with all clean disk, licensed internal code on it and
ready to load the OS and LPPs.
