Determining the dominant operating system

The operating system is a collection of system programs that control the overall operation of the iSeries systems. OS/400 is an example of an operating system that can be used on iSeries servers. iSeries servers can run one or more operating systems. When there is more than one operating system, OS/400 is the dominant operating system.

The Hardware Service Manager function (under Start a Service Tool) indicates which operating system is dominant on the system. The Release field on the Hardware Service Manager display or printout shows the following values:

0Unknown

This indicates that an alternate IPL was performed.

1OS/400 is dominant

This indicates that either OS/400 is the only operating system installed, or that more than one operating system is installed (and OS/400 is dominant).

For more information on the Hardware Service Manager function, see Chapter 2, “Hardware Service Manager” on page 45.

System password

If a system password is required, the Verification of System Password Failed display appears just prior to the IPL or Install the System display.

If the Verification of System Password Failed display appears after a repair action, contact your next level of support for assistance.
