7.3.5 IBM i 6.1 install media preparation
There are two general methods for installing IBM i Licensed Internal Code (LIC)
and the 6.1 operating system on a BladeCenter JS32/JS43 blade in an IBM
BladeCenter chassis. You can use the CD/DVD drive in the IBM BladeCenter
chassis Media module attached to the IBM i 6.1 partition, or you can create
virtual optical media devices.
Using virtual optical media devices is very practical during the installation
process of LIC, operating system, or related software because the entire
contents of the required CD/DVDs is dumped to a virtual optical image.
Therefore, during the installation process you do not need to replace the CD/DVD
media physically if a second CD/DVD media is required.
For further information about how to create a virtual optical media device, refer to
“Creating Virtual Media Library using IVM” on page 322.
One other option is to use a remote PCs CD/DVD device and configure it to the
AMM in the blade center. This option would allow you to remotely install your
operating system from your PC. See “Attaching a remote PC file or Media device”
on page 327 for more information.
7.3.6 Connect the System i LAN console
Connecting a local console on a network (LAN) to a system enables you to have
an active console and a functional remote control panel. As previously
mentioned, to establish a connection to the IBM i 6.1 partition in the BladeCenter
S chassis, the PC must be in the same TCP/IP subnet as the BladeCenter
JS23/JS43 blade.
If you experience problems establishing a connection, check the settings of the
installed firewall. The ports used by the System i LAN console may have been
disabled by the firewall.
To establish a connection to an IBM i 6.1 created partition, follow these steps:
