That file was written mostly from an OS/2 install viewpoint. Here are some of the differences for an R/390 AIX install: Subdirectory names ================== OS/2 subdirectory AIX name ----------------- -------- d:\VSE /vse/vseesa d:\P390 /usr/bin/r390 Printer LPT1: /dev/lp0 | Note: The printer output can also be redirected to an | AIX file (e.g. /tmp/printer.00e). If you want it to | go to a real device, you must first define one in AIX. 4mm DAT tape /dev/rmt0 Prerequisites ============= 1. Before running any of the install program on this CD you MUST already have installed the R/390 Program code and L.I.C. code. We urge you to install the latest version of this code. 2. You must create and mount a CD-ROM file system. You can use SMIT to do this. As an example, we will assume the mount point is /cdrom 3. You must have sufficient hard disk space (approximately 1 GB) on a physical volume (e.g. hdisk2) that is NOT assigned to a volume group. 4. You cannot have a existing volume group or mount point called /vse, unless it contains an older version that you wish to overlay. Running the Install =================== The OS/2 VSE install is called INSTALL.CMD and is located in the root of this CD-ROM. The AIX VSE install is a program called "insvse", is located in the /aix/ subdirectory on the CD-ROM, and can be executed directly from the CD as follows: 1. Open an AIXTERM window, stretch it vertically to a maximum size, and from the AIX prompt type: cd /cdrom/aix ./insvse Follow the instructions given on the screen. 2. After the VSE install completes, you must set the default DEVMAP. The DEVMAP file /aix/devmap.vse was copied from the CD-ROM to your AIX system as /vse/vseesa/devmap.vse Have your System Administrator update the file /etc/environment as follows: - Append the path :/usr/bin/r390 to the PATH= statement. - Add the statement CONFIG_FILE=/vse/vseesa/devmap.vse You must logout and then login for this change to take effect. 3. From an AIXTERM window type: cd /usr/bin/r390 r390 & to bring up the R/390 Main Menu. Then click on the IPL P/390 icon to IPL the VSE/ESA operating system that you just installed. Alternate Installation Method ============================= The above installation requires that you have an empty volume available (not assigned to any AIX volume group). If VM/ESA was already installed (e.g. from the pre-configured CD) and you want to install VSE/ESA in addition, this may cause a problem because you may not have empty volumes or you want to install to the same physical drive(s) as VM/ESA. In this case you can not use the VSE/ESA install process from the CD. However, you can just unzip the volumes for VSE/ESA (DOSRES & SYSWK1) from CD to the volume group used by VM/ESA. Type "unzip" for help on this command.
