Performing resource management
After you change a hardware feature, you might need to perform these completion tasks.
- If you have changed the disk configuration, perform disk unit management to first protect and then configure the disks on your server. To do this, you can use the Work with Disk Units option from the Dedicated Service Tools display. To learn how, see Chapter 18. "Procedures for Configuring Disks and Disk Protection" of the Backup and Recovery Guide.
Once you have completed your disk configuration, you can remove any unused disk units from the configuration using dedicated service tools (DST). For information, see "How to Remove a Disk unit from an Auxiliary Storage Pool" in Chapter 19. "Working with Auxiliary Storage Pools" of the Backup and Recovery Guide. Disk units that you remove from the configuration should also be physically removed to prevent them from being added back into the configuration during an IPL.
- Update workstations, communications, removable media, LAN, WAN, or integrated server hardware resource names as necessary. For information about changing hardware resource names, see Fixing hardware resource names after an upgrade.
- If you have changed your console type, perform the IPL and resource management tasks in Preparing the server for production.
- If you have made changes to enable clusters or independent disk pools, use the information in Creating a cluster and Configuring independent disk pools.
