Verifying OptiConnect software installation

 

After you install OptiConnect software, follow this procedure to verify that the installation is successful.

  1. Run the Check Product Option (CHKPRDOPT) command to ensure that the OptiConnect code and objects have been installed correctly.

  2. Enter STRSBS QSOC/QSOC on all systems to start the OptiConnect QSOC subsystem.

  3. Enter DSPMSG *SYSOPR on all systems to display the messages that were issued when the QSOC subsystem was started. The following messages are displayed after a successful initiation of the OptiConnect connection manager:
      Subsystem QSOC in library QSOC starting.
      Subsystem QSOC started.
      OptiConnect connection manager started at mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss.
      OptiConnect connected to SYSTEMA using SOC01 at mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss.
      OptiConnect connected to SYSTEMB using SOC02 at mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss.

    The number of messages (and adapter types within the messages) that you see depend on the following factors:

    • Your hardware configuration

    • The systems to which you are connected

    • The systems that have started the OptiConnect subsystem

  4. Enter VFYOPCCNN to begin the installation verification. This ensures system-to-system connection in the cluster. Check your job log for the completion message OptiConnect verification test completed with no errors.

  5. Enter QSOC/WRKOPCACT to check the OptiConnect activity on the systems in the cluster. You should see activity as a result of the Verify OptiConnect Connection (VFYOPCCNN) procedure. VFYOPCCNN causes the system to act as a client to each of the other systems in the network.

  6. Enter WRKHDWRSC TYPE(*CSA) to confirm that the hardware connections are operational and to show the operational status of the bus receiver cards. TYPE(*CSA) displays a resource for each remote system that had, at some point, an operational connection to the system on which you are entering the command.
