1. Have a copy of the e-mail confirming your order available for reference.
2. Install the Operations Navigator plug-in. Note: Required one time only if you
choose to download using Operations Navigator.
1. Download the self-extracting file.
Self-extracting .exe file
2. Run the .exe file.
3. Install the files in the default directory: jvopnav\com\ibm\as400\opnav
Notes:
Consider using software managers called "download managers" to allow you to resume
interrupted or failed downloads. Although IBM does not endorse any third-party
download managers, some popular ones include the following.1
• GetRight®
• Go!Zilla
1. Decide whether to download the fixes directly to the Integrated File System (IFS)
on the IBM eServer iSeries family of servers or to a PC.
o Beginning with V5R2, you have two choices.
You can use image catalogs, and download the fixes directly to IFS
on the iSeries server.
Or, you can burn CD-ROMs on a PC.
o For releases prior to V5R2, you must burn CD-ROMs on a PC.
Note: You will get better performance when burning the CD-ROMs if you put the
files on your local PC drive.
You may install the fixes using either method listed below.
• Install the fixes from an image catalog associated with a virtual optical device
(V5R2 or a later release is required)
• Install the fixes from CD-ROM on any supported release
Refer to the instructions on how to install fixes from an image catalog in the iSeries
Information Center.
Note: You must have release V5R2 (or a later release) installed in order to to use image
catalogs.
1. Create the CD-ROM (or CD-ROMs) on your PC from the .bin file (or files). You
may use any CD-Writer software that supports writing CD-ROMs in RAW mode,
standard data format. Although IBM does not endorse any third-party CD-Writer
software, some popular software packages include the following. 1
Note: Because each .bin file is a bit-for-bit copy of one CD-ROM, you must
create a separate CD-ROM for each .bin file in order for the fixes to install
properly.
o Easy CD Creator®
o Nero Burning ROM
Hints:
o You may need to rename the file from .bin to .iso depending on your CD-
Writer software.
o You should choose the following options when creating your CD. Some of
the options may be listed under the advanced settings.
Create (or burn) a CD from a CD image
Standard data format for single session CDs (for example, "Data
CD" or "Mode 1 CD-ROM")
RAW data mode
Disc-at-Once (not Track-at-Once)
2. Install the fixes from CD-ROM. Refer to the instructions on how to install fixes
from media or how to install a cumulative fix package in the iSeries Information
Center.
Note: You may choose to install from CD-ROM on any supported release of OS/400 or
i5/OS.
This topic discusses how you can use an image catalog to install PTFs that you receive on
physical media or that you received using FTP when you downloaded fixes from Fix
Central.
Notes:
1. You cannot install PTFs directly from an image catalog with Management
Central, but you can use the Copy from Media function to copy PTFs into save
files from an image catalog associated with a virtual optical device.
2. Your user profile must have *ALLOBJ and *SECADM authority to use the
image catalog commands.

o Add an image catalog entry for fixes that you downloaded from Fix
Central into an IFS directory. You can add the directory into an image
catalog in either of the following ways:
From the same directory that is associated with the image catalog
directory.
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG)
FROMFILE(iptfxxx_x.bin)
TOFILE(iptfxxx_x.bin)
Note: If you are attempting to load individual PTFs with the Load PTF
(LODPTF) command, only the PTFs on the volume set that is mounted can be
loaded.

To ensure that the device is active, press F14 (Work with configuration
status). If the device is not active, type 1 to vary it on. You can have only
one virtual optical device active at a time.
o Add an image catalog entry for fixes that you downloaded from Fix
Central into an IFS directory. You can add the directory into an image
catalog in either of the following ways:
From the same directory that is associated with the image catalog
directory.
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG)
FROMFILE(iptfxxx_x.bin)
TOFILE(iptfxxx_x.bin)
The system puts the images in the correct order. By default, the volume with the
lowest index is mounted; all the other volumes are loaded. Use the Work with
Catalog Entries (WRKIMGCLGE) command to see the order of the images.
Note: If you are attempting to load individual PTFs with the Load PTF
(LODPTF) command, only the PTFs on the volume set that is mounted can be
loaded.
You can use an image catalog to perform a software upgrade, install PTFs (fixes), or
install single licensed programs that you receive on media. For this release, the following
is a scenario of how you can create an image catalog and image catalog entry, add an
image catalog entry, and load the image catalog in preparation of performing a V5R2-to-
V5R2 software upgrade. Information about upgrading from V5R1 to V5R2 will be made
available through V5R1 PTF SI03120, Optical Support.
An image catalog is an object on the server that can contain up to 64 optical images.
Each catalog is associated with one user-specified integrated file system directory. The
system-recognized identifier for the object type is *IMGCLG.
When you use an image catalog, you preload all your media so that you do not need to
handle the physical media when you perform the installation. You do this by copying the
images from the physical media to a file in the integrated file system and then use these
preloaded images to install.
• An image catalog upgrade works like a D-mode IPL without a console during the
installation of Licensed Internal Code. System reference codes (SRCs) are used to
display the status.
• Installations done by using image catalogs require a command line to initiate the
installation.
• An installation cannot be performed if an independent auxiliary storage pool
(ASP) is accessible. Image files cannot reside in an independent ASP.
• Virtual optical devices do not support the following:
o Write operations
o The LODRUN command using multiple media.
o Changing a primary language from secondary language media.
• The load-source disk unit must be a 4-gigabyte unit.
• To perform an installation using image catalogs, you must have at least 1 gigabyte
of free storage on the load-source disk unit. Clean up disk storage space describes
how to free up space in the load-source disk unit.
• Determine storage space required describes how to calculate storage requirements
for your server.
You can add the entries from either an optical device or from an existing optical
image file.
If you are preparing for an upgrade, you need to verify that the required media for
an upgrade exist and are sorted in the correct sequence.
WRKIMGCLGE IMGCLG(catalog-name)
Then press PF7 to prompt for the VFYIMGCLG command. Enter *UPGRADE
for the type and *YES for the sort field.
Note: Three possible values for the verification TYPE parameter are *UPGRADE
(used for upgrading), *PTF (used for PTFs), and *OTHER (used for
individual licensed programs).
The server puts the images in the correct order. By default, the volume with the
lowest index is mounted; all the other volumes are loaded. To see the order of the
images, use the Work with Image Catalog Entries (WRKIMGCLGE) command:
WRKIMGCLGE IMGCLG(catalog-name)
After completing these steps, your image catalog is ready for use.
