The procedure that follows is necessary if you selected Build only, or if an Apply request stopped
and must be restarted. To apply the activation package to the target system:
1. Wait until the build finishes.
2. Transfer the activation package to the target system. You can use a file-transfer utility if the
systems are network connected or tape if they are not connected. If the activation package is
on tape, check that a tape is mounted on a tape drive.
3. Log on to the ZPHITI on the target system. For more information, see “Entering the ZPHITI”
(page 33) .
