Licensed Internal Code installation error displays

Use the Licensed Internal Code installation error displays to determine what actions to take. For example, the system might be missing the load-source disk.

One of the following three displays might be shown if you chose option 1 (restore) on the install selection menu and the selected disk is not currently a load-source disk unit. In this case, the restore cannot be done. If the selected disk is the correct one to install to, return to the selection menu and choose the correct install option 2, 3, 4, or 5 to initialize the disk and perform an installation. If the selected disk is not the correct one, or if an existing load-source disk unit should have been found, follow the appropriate procedures to determine why the correct disk did not report in, or was not recognized.

If there is information about a missing disk (second or third of the following three displays), it indicates what the last load-source disk unit was on this system. If that disk still exists (it has not been removed or replaced), determine why it was not found. If that disk has been removed or replaced, then this is just informational and might not indicate an error.

The following display can be shown if you chose option 1 (restore) on the install selection menu, but the release level of the Licensed Internal Code on the install media cannot be restored over the current release level on disk. Verify that you have the correct install media (version/release/modification level). If the level is correct, then you must do an initialize and install to get the new Licensed Internal Code installed over the existing Licensed Internal Code on the disk.

The following display can be shown if you chose option 1 (restore) on the install selection menu and the selected disk is currently a load-source disk unit, but the pertinent data on the disk cannot be read and, therefore, a restore cannot be done. You must do an initialize and installation to install the new Licensed Internal Code on this disk.

The following display can be shown if two load-source disk units are detected on your system. The best disk was selected for the restore or installation. The data about the other disk is informational so you can verify that the correct disk was selected. If the correct disk was not selected, follow the appropriate procedures to disable or remove the selected disk , so that the other disk is selected when you rerun the task.

The following display is shown if mirroring is active but one disk of the load source mirrored pair cannot be found. The restore or installation can still continue on the selected disk, but will not be mirrored until the missing disk becomes again active. You might want to follow the appropriate procedures to determine why one of the disks were not found.

The following two displays are shown if the disk selected for the install to is not the same disk that was previously the load source on this system. If the missing disk should still exist (it has not been removed or replaced), determine why it was not found. If the disk was removed or replaced, this data is just informational and might not indicate an error.

The following display is shown if mirroring is active and the active load-source disk unit cannot be found. One unit of the load source mirrored pair was found but is not currently active. You can install to it, but you will not be allowed to initial program load (IPL) past dedicated service tools (DST) with it. You might want to follow the appropriate procedures to determine why the active load-source disk unit cannot be found.

One of the following three displays is shown in the following situations:
  • No valid, functional load-source disk unit exists on the system.
  • No disk units can be made into load-source disk units.

If information is supplied about a missing disk (second and third of the three displays), it indicates what was the last load-source disk unit on this system. If that disk still exists (it has not been removed or replaced), then determine why it was not found. If that disk has been removed or replaced, then this data is just informational and might not be the reason for the error.

One of the following two displays is shown if a disk is found, but it is not at a valid address to be the load source.

If there is information about a missing disk (the second display), it indicates what the last load-source disk unit was on this system. If that disk still exists (it has not been removed or replaced), determine why it was not found. If it has been removed or replaced, this is just informational and might not be the reason for the error.

The following display is shown if an existing load-source disk unit is found, but is not at a valid address to be the load source. If it was intentionally moved, determine why no other disk can be found to which to install. If this is the correct disk , determine why it is not at a valid address.
