System Assurance Checkpoint

The customer needs to ensure that the following is completed before the hardware service representative arrives:

1.Verify that the physical planning items were completed:

vHigh Speed Link cable diagram

vFloor plan, system layout diagram

vCable labelling

To complete the items, see the Physical Planning in the iSeries Information Center under Getting Started with iSeries -> Planning ->Physical planning for your new system.

2.Ensure that you have installed the latest V5R1 cumulative PTF package and specific software release PTFs on all partitions. Refer to step 7 on page 19.

3.Verify that you have the latest full system backup (Save option 21) tapes on hand and labeled. Refer to step 4 on page 21.

4.Verify the availability of a compatible alternate IPL device (CD-ROM or tape unit attached to the system bus 1). If the system uses an alternate installation device (CD-ROM, DVD, or tape unit attached to a bus other than the system bus 1) for installation or restore operations, ensure the availability of the location information for that device.

Note: If a tape unit is attached to a bus other than the system bus 1, record the following information about the tape unit location:

vType and model

vSystem bus

vSystem card

This information is necessary to set up and enable the tape unit as an alternate installation device. For more information about alternate installation devices, go to the Software Installation manual. A PDF version of this manual is available from the iSeries Information Center under

System planning and installation -> Hardware and software ->

Software and licensed programs -> Install software.

5.Ensure that the console device is available and ready. For information about setting up and configuring Operations Console, see the manual Operations Console Setup, SC41-5508-02. A PDF version of this manual is available from the iSeries Information Center under Client Access Express -> Manuals and Redbooks.

6.Verify that you have the following printouts on hand (refer to step 1 on page 20 through step 9):

v Latest system configuration list

vLatest device descriptions printout on hand

vLatest controller descriptions printout on hand

vLatest PTF level printout on hand

vLatest complete and accurate label location chart or worksheet on hand
