Verification procedures

You can check communications and various hardware units and devices for correct operation by performing verification procedures.

Note: There are two primary methods used to verify communications and hardware:

1.Hardware Service Manager - Verify

2.Verify Communications (VFYCMN)

Verification support for a hardware type is generally available under one or the other, but not both. Verification for most Version 4 or newer hardware is available under the Hardware Service Manager - Verify option, which can be run from either DST or SST (see “Hardware Service Manager — Verify”). If you need to run the VFYCMN command, you must IPL up to OS/400. (For more information on running VFYCMN, see “Verify communications” on page 308.)

Hardware Service Manager — Verify

To verify communications or devices on any iSeries model using the Hardware

Service Manager Verify option, perform the following procedure:

Note: Before running a verification test, ensure that the customer is not using the resource you want to test and that all communication jobs on the resource to be tested are ended.

1.From the Start a Service Tool display, select the Hardware Service Manager option.

2.From the Hardware Service Manager display, select the Logical hardware resources option.

3.From the Logical Hardware Resources display, select the System bus resources option.

This display lists all the I/O processors.

4.Select the Resources associated with IOP option for the attached IOP in the list.

5.Select the Verify option for the communications, tape, optical storage unit, diskette equipment, or File Server adapter that you want to test.
