Display, verify, and print hardware resource information

To display, verify, and print the hardware resource information, complete the following steps.

  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.
