Displaying, verifying, and printing hardware resource information

 

To display, verify, and print the hardware resource information, complete these procedures.

1. At the i5/OS^® command line, enter the Work with Hardware Products (WRKHDWPRD) command.

2. Select option 4 (Display Description Label Locations) and press Enter to display the label information associated with the hardware resources.

3. On the Display Description Label Locations display, verify that the label information about the hardware resources is accurate.

4. Delete the configuration descriptions (also called configuration objects) that are not associated with any physical hardware at this time.

5. Press F17 (Print) to print the description label locations. This information must be given to the service representative.

6. At the i5/OS command line, enter the following commands:

   DSPHDWRSC TYPE(*LWS) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
   DSPHDWRSC TYPE(*STG) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
   DSPHDWRSC TYPE(*CMN) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
   DSPHDWRSC TYPE(*PRC) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

   This creates a report of your hardware and configuration objects.

If the server is partitioned, repeat these steps from each partition. Be sure to mark the printout for the partition it represents.
