This soft copy for use by IBM employees only.
These programs are obtainable in several ways:
•
Shipped with the server on two diskettes called the reference diskette and
the diagnostic diskette.
•
Created from images for these diskettes on the ServerGuide CD-ROM that is
shipped with the system.
•
On the system partition of the machine.
Non-array systems are shipped with the system programs already installed
in a protected area of the hard disk called the system partition. The system
partition is protected against operating-system read, write, and format
operations to guard against accidental erasure or modification. Disk-array
systems do not have a system partition.
You can start the system programs in one of two ways:
1. Boot using the system partition.
2. Boot using reference diskette.
The system partition should be used if available. The reference diskette is
normally used to:
•
Configure and test disk-array models (since there is no system partition).
•
Test non-array models if you cannot start the system programs from the
system partition.
•
Reconstruct the programs on the system partition of a non-array model when
you replace the hard disk drive or if the programs are damaged.
•
To install the DOS keyboard-password program and other stand-alone utility
programs.
