Add a System Wizard - IPL Information

The "Add a System Wizard - IPL Information" panel is a part of the "Add a System" wizard and also used in the "Add a Sysplex" wizard.

Use this panel to provide information on a mode for IPLing the system. This information is grouped as a system profile for the system. Later you can add more system profiles to the same system, each representing an IPL mode.

Steps to provide IPL information:

  1. Accept the default, PRF_<system name> or type a name for the system profile into the System profile name entry field. The name must be unique within the sysplex.
  2. Type the suffix of the LOAD member that is used for the corresponding IPL mode into the LOAD member suffix field.
  3. Type the volser of the volume where the IODF resides that corresponds to the IPL mode.
  4. Optionally, type filter information into the remaining entry fields (see Using filters for details).
  5. Be sure that all data on this panel is correct and consistent. msys for Setup cannot detect mismatches and you cannot change this data when the wizard has been completed.
    Note:
    A typing error in any but the system profile name would render the system profile unusable. Recovery from this would entail defining a new, correct system profile and subsequently deleting the faulty one.

  6. Click Next > to proceed to the next panel.
