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 LPARor LPAR Primary Partition Secondary LPARPartitions
Before proceeding with the MES Installation,
where possible, use (A) or (B) to document
the installed iSeries server.Use an
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
oftheRMERform.
(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.
Use the same procedure as described for the
primary partition for each secondary
partition that is configured.
