To find the procedure for saving the entire system (using option 21) in the Information Center, do the following:

a.Click Systems Management

b.Click Backup, recovery, and availability

c.Click Backing up your server

d.Click Saving your server with the GO SAVE command

e.Click Saving your whole server with GO SAVE: Option 21

__ 11. Resume normal system operations and processing.

__ 12. To verify that all your applications are running properly, use the system with the new software release until you feel comfortable with the new production environment. For example, many customers use the system for 2 weeks or longer.

Preparing for System Assurance prior to hardware upgrade

Before the hardware upgrade is to take place, the customer should do the following:

__ 1. Ensure that the currently installed machine and LPAR partitions are documented.

No LPAR or LPAR Primary Partition	Secondary LPAR Partitions

Before proceeding with the MES Installation,	Use the same procedure as described for the
where possible, use (A) or (B) to document	primary partition for each secondary
the installed iSeries server. Use an	partition that is configured.
appropriate method:
(A) - If your country supports the
WRKORDINF command and if the installed
iSeries server is capable of using Electronic
Customer Support (ECS), use this method:
On the command line, type ″WRKORDINF″,
then press Enter.
On the next screen, enter Option 1 in the
Option field next to QMAnnnnn
Note: nnnnn is the serial number of the
machine, press enter. Write ″ECS″ on the top
of the RMER form.
(B) - Use this method if the installed iSeries
server is not ECS capable, or you cannot use
’A’ for another reason: On the command line
type ″DSPSFWRSC *PRINT″, press enter.
Retrieve hard copy listing from the system
printer. Attach the listing to the RMER. If no
RMER form is present, then ignore this step.
