25.3.1.2 SoftwareXcel SystemPac/MVS
The SystemPac installation offering is a world-wide offering similar to SIE, but
without on-site assistance by IBM. You can use this to tailor OS/390 to your
environment (such as DASD layout, migration of MVSCP/IOCP to IODF, and
naming conventions) based on information provided to IBM. With this offering,
selected non-IBM products can be integrated. This offering can be delivered in
IEBCOPY dump-by-data-set format or in full volume dump format.
Use this in conjunction with IBM services to set up and tailor your OS/390
system. See
Custom-Built Offerings Planning
, SC23-0352 and
CustomPac
Installation Dialogs
, SA22-7240 for more information.
25.3.1.3 Other Offerings
There are many other fee-based offerings based on SystemPac available in
specific countries or geographies. Many are packaged with on-site assistance to
help install and tailor the system, provide services, maintenance, and financing
to help customers get to current technology.
Other fee-based help includes Washington System Center services, customized
solutions, hardware services, and software services. Contact your IBM
Representative for details about additional installation services.
25.3.2 Entitled Methods of Installing OS/390
These are only recommended for installations which have a running OS/390
system and want to make incremental upgrades to it. There is no FunctionPac,
ProductPac, Custom Built Installation Process Offering (CBIPO), or stand-alone
product tape for OS/390.
If your OS/390 was not tailored to your hardware configuration, you will need to
use the Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) to define I/O configurations to
both the software and hardware. HCD can be used as part of the initial ordering
procedure for many of the above offerings to create an input/output definition file
(IODF). If starting with your VSE configuration, you can add the necessary MVS
control statements to your IOCP and convert them to HCD.
Both of the following methods require OS/390 or MVS as the driving system.
25.3.2.1 ServerPac
This software delivery package consists of installed products and integrated
service for a ready-to-IPL system. To install, you use the CustomPac Installation
Dialog -- the same dialog that is used for all the CustomPac offerings, including
SystemPac and ProductPac. You can use ServerPac to install a new OS/390
system, replace an entire existing system, or replace an existing system except
for its operational data sets (SYS1.PARMLIB, SYS1.PROCLIB, and the like).
You can order other IBM products and subsystems in a single ServerPac order.
However, CICS, IMS, DB2, and NCP products will be delivered in separate
ServerPacs.
