Licensed Program BRMS 5770BR2 software downloaded from IBM ESS:
Move downloaded file F_MULTI_NLV_BR2_740_BACKUP_RECOVERY_AND_MEDIA_SERVICES_LCD8_2917_00.udf from its download folder to the IFS folder of an image catalog. Use copy / paste from the network to the IFS folder using the ACS IFS feature. If your shop doesn’t have ACS, FTP the file from your network folder to the IFS directory of the image catalog that will be used.
For this process, I created the IFS directories ‘/BRMSBR2’, ‘/V7R4PTF’
Command line: WRKLNK ‘/’
MKDIR ‘/BRMSBR2’
MKDIR ‘/V7R4PTF’
How the downloaded software looks in a downloads folder.
Command line: WRKLNK ‘/’
