– Target system default: Specifies to have the installation program decide which option to use during
the installation process. If the target site system has any operating system options from an earlier
release or has any licensed programs that are currently installed, the system uses option 1 (Installed
products). If the target site system does not have any operating system options from an earlier
release or has any licensed programs currently installed, the system uses option 2 (All products).
When you use this option, the system does not calculate the amount of auxiliary storage needed to
perform the installation.
v Installation device
Type the name of the installation media device you are using for the installation process.
The value *ALTIPL means the installation media device used to install the operating system is used.
Select this option if you are creating an installation profile for use at several target systems that may
use different names for installation media devices.
v Replace if current
The value Y (Yes) specifies to replace existing products that are already installed at the same level that
is on the installation media. An N (No) specifies to not replace existing products that are already
installed at the same level that is on the installation media. The default value is Yes.
v Automatic IPL
The value Y (Yes) specifies to perform an automatic IPL after the install process is complete. An
automatic IPL is done only if the installation function completes successfully. An N (No) specifies not to
perform an automatic IPL. The Sign On display is shown after the installation process is complete.
When you have finished creating or changing an installation profile, press the Enter key to

For example, when you select option 5 (Display) on the Work with Installation Profiles display, the Display
Profile Details display appears showing only the values you previously selected. Consider this example:
