Use this task checklist if your source material is on tape and you are using a CSLT tape to:

  • Install your system software on new hardware

  • Install your system software on new hardware and apply PowerPatch patches

WARNING! Performing the activities in this task DESTROYS ALL FILES THAT EXIST on your system. Do not perform a new installation on an existing system.

NOTE:

  • Perform a new installation when new hardware has been shipped to you and the operating system software is not already installed. This is performed only once in the lifetime of a computer. Your system software is shipped to you on tape media.

  • You cannot apply Reactive patches at the same time you are updating the system. You must apply Reactive patches after you install the system. To apply Reactive patches (after you install the system), refer to Checklist A, "Manage Patches," or Checklist B, "Manage Patches by Staging Area."

Print a copy of this checklist for each new system that you are installing.
