Internet Install Instructions

Note: If you prefer installing the software from a hard CD, most CD burner software will allow you to burn a CD from the downloaded ISO CD image file. If you want to take this route, refer to the install instructions in the user's guide.

Important: If you have previously installed other Kisco software or an earlier version of i-2-S3, check the /kiscocd folder in the IFS and make sure that it is empty before you get started.

To install i-2-S3 on your system from the Kisco_i2S3_117.iso file you downloaded, please follow these exact instructions.

Please note that these instructions can be used whether you are installing i-2-S3 for the very first time or if you are upgrading an existing i-2-S3 installation.

1. Sign on to your System i from a PC that is configured for iSeries Access. You must sign on using the special IBM-supplied user profile QSECOFR. Make sure that your session is the only one that is signed on as QSECOFR during this process.
2. If you are upgrading an existing i-2-S3 installation, make sure that nobody is using i-2-S3 for the duration of the upgrade.
3. Run the following command to create an IFS folder to hold the CD image file:

   MKDIR DIR(kiscocd)

4. Run the following command to create a virtual optical device:

   CRTDEVOPT DEVD(OPTVKISCO) RSRCNAME(*VRT) TYPE(632B)

5. Run the following command to create an image catalog:

   CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(KISCOCAT) DIR(kiscocd)

6. From your PC, create a folder on your desktop named TEMP and move the Kisco_i2S3_117.iso file into it.
7. From your desktop, click on the iSeries Navigator. When it opens, all operations here will take place on the right side of the display box. Click on the following sequence of items displayed:
   • Your System i location
   • File Systems (Note: if this does not appear, you will have to install additional iSeries Access functions on your PC to complete this procedure.)
   • Integrated File System
   • root
   • kiscocd

   Now drag and drop the file from the TEMP folder on your PC desktop into the right-hand box of the iSeries Navigator display. This will transfer these files into the folder. (Note, you do not need to transfer the zip file.)

8. Now go back to the command line and run the following command to load the file into the image catalog:

   ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(KISCOCAT)
   FROMFILE('/kiscocd/Kisco_i2S3_117.iso')

   Note: If you have installed other Kisco software or previous versions of i-2-S3, you will need to make sure that the current i-2-S3 CD Image is the only one now active on your system. Use the WRKIMGCLG command and check the Image Catalog named KISCOCAT to make sure there is only one entry posted.

9. From the command line, run the following command to load the image catalog entry:

   LODIMGCLGE IMGCLG(KISCOCAT)

10. From the command line, run the following command to ready the virtual optical device:

    VRYCFG CFGOBJ(OPTVKISCO) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)

11. From the command line, run the following command to load the image catalog:

    LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(KISCOCAT) DEV(OPTVKISCO)

12. From the command line, run the install process with the following command:

    LODRUN DEV(OPTVKISCO)

    This will install the software on your system for your thirty day trial period.

During the install processing, a document called "Additional Documentation Topics" will print. This includes the latest system changes and documentation since the last time the user manual was updated.

When you have completed your evaluation of i-2-S3, you may purchase a permanent installation copy by contacting us and arranging payment.

If you have just completed installing an upgrade of your already active license for i-2-S3, please contact Kisco and advise them that you have updated to a new release level. Let us know the specific version that you have just installed so we can keep our records current about your installation.
