Copying the Installation Library From DVD
  1. Log on as a QSECOFR authorized ID. The ID must have ALLOBJ authority and RSTLIB authority.
  2. Place the media in the drive.
  3. Restore the installation library from the DVD to disk by issuing the command
    RSTLIB SAVLIB(InnnLIB) DEV(device) RSTLIB(instLibName)

    where:

    nnn

    Is the server version and release number (for example, 771).

    device

    Is the device name. To view available devices, issue the command:

    WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*DEV) CFGD(*OPT)
    RSTLIB(instLibName)

    Is required if you will be using the server with a code page that is incompatible with code page 37, EBCDIC 8-bit West European. For example, this is required if you will be using the server with Japanese or another double-byte character set. Otherwise, this is optional but recommended.

    instLibName is the name you assign to the library to which you are restoring the DVD’s contents. It can be any valid library name. If you do not specify RSTLIB(instLibName), the restored installation library name defaults to I771LIB.

    Note that in examples later in the installation process we will show this as I771LIB, but you should always enter the actual name that you specified here.

    For more information about using the server with different code pages, see the explanation of the Initial Code Page parameter in Step 2 in Step 4. Running the Installation Program.

  4. If you are not using the real iadmin as the iadmin ID to own the files and manage the server, issue (as QSECOFR)
    CHGOBJOWN OBJ(instLibName/INU) OBJTYPE(*PGM) NEWOWN(QSECOFR)

    where:

    instLibName

    Is the name of the installation library that you restored from DVD in Step 3.

  5. Log off the QSECOFR user ID and proceed toStep 4. Running the Installation Program.

After you complete the installation, you can delete the installation library.
