Installing in an LPAR

  1. Verify the hardware requirements. See also Section “Hardware Requirements” (Chapter 1, Requirements, ↑Architecture-Specific Information).

  2. Verify the software requirements. See also Section “Software Requirements” (Chapter 1, Requirements, ↑Architecture-Specific Information).

  3. Prepare a VNC client for the installation process. See also Section “Simple Remote Installation via VNC—Static Network Configuration” (Chapter 4, Remote Installation, ↑Installation and Administration).

  4. Prepare the system in its firmware or on the i5/OS side:

    • For iSeries, see also Section “Preparing an Installation on IBM iSeries Models” (Chapter 2, Preparation, ↑Architecture-Specific Information)

    • For pSeries p630, p655, p670, and p690, see also Section “Preparing for Installation on an IBM pSeries Models” (Chapter 2, Preparation, ↑Architecture-Specific Information)

    • For eServer i5/p5, System i5/p5, and OpenPower, see also Section “Preparing for Installation on IBM eServer i5/p5, System i5/p5, and OpenPower Models” (Chapter 2, Preparation, ↑Architecture-Specific Information)

  5. Configure a client for accessing the system during the installation. See also Section “Client for the Operation of the Installation Software” (Chapter 2, Preparation, ↑Architecture-Specific Information).

  6. For iSeries, set up the IPL source on the i5/OS side and see also Section “IPL: Starting the NWSD (WRKCFGSTS *NWS)” (Chapter 2, Preparation, ↑Architecture-Specific Information).
