RE: Operating system version for the new IBM i

["Jerry Adams" <midrange@xxxxxxxx>]

It has been ages, but, yeah, our system came pre-installed.  That was V5R?.  There was a user setup process, but not for the O/S itself.  I did have to change the QSECOFR password (first time that was required) and do a few other things.

I may be misremembering this, but I am pretty sure that the last two (2) S/36s I ordered came pre-installed.

You have an operating system installed when you get in a new Power System?
We don't.  You, or your BP, must have asked for a special feature code to
have a certain level of IBM i installed.
I guess, unless you tend to order new systems on a frequent basis, trying
to figure out what you did wrong is a waste of time and you need to
concentrate more on getting to where you need to be.
