• For reinstall tasks, use a current SLT or CSLT and a current set of backup tapes of the
MPEXL_system_volume_set.
• Staging areas may reside on local or remote system disks.
Operating System Version Requirements
The supported operating system (OS) version minimum requirements vary depending upon your task. Use
the SHOWME command to check the version. Table 3-2 lists the version your operating system must currently
be on in order to perform the listed task.
If you are on a version older than 6.0, it is not supported; you must first upgrade to 6.0 or 6.5, then upgrade to
7.5.
If you are distributing a staging area to a remote system, the local and remote system must match exactly.
Both systems must be on the same OS version, have the same set of relevant SUBSYS products, and have the
same set of applied patches.
• Verifying Required Materials completed. Go to the next section on your checklist.
