Preparing the driving system
The driving system is the system image (hardware and software) that you use to install the target system. The target system is the system software libraries and other data sets that you are installing. You log on to the driving system and run jobs there to create or update the target system. Once the target system is built, it can be IPLed on the same hardware (same LPAR or same processor) or different hardware than that used for the driving system.
This topic identifies the software and hardware you will need for your driving system. See Preparing the target system for the software and hardware you will need for your target system.
Note: If your driving system will share resources with your
target system after the target system has been IPLed, be sure to install
applicable coexistence service (see Coexistence and fallback) on the driving
system before you IPL the target system. If you do not install the
coexistence service, you will probably experience problems due to
incompatible data structures (such as incompatible data sets, VTOCs,
catalog records, global resource serialization tokens, or APPC bind
mappings).
