Following an upgrade or migration, you may have hardware resources
that are in different locations than they were on your source server.
To fix these hardware resource names, follow these steps:
- At the i5/OS™ command
line, enter WRKHDWPRD.
- On the Work with Hardware Products display, select option 5 (Change
description label locations) and press Enter.
- Read the information about the Using Change Label Locations display
and press Enter.
- Compare the label information on the display with the source server's
label locations. Label information matches if the Label column on the display
matches that of the source server. Label information does not match if any
one of the following is true:
- The display has label information, but the source server did not have
label information in that location.
- The source server label information does not match the information found
in the Label column on the display.
- *NONE appears in the Label column on the display, and
there is label information for the source server.
Note: When *NONE appears
in the Label column for a controller or device that was added or upgraded,
select option 2 (Change). Then select the correct label description from the
list provided. If you experience any problems, call your service provider.
- *INCORRECT or *INVALID appears in the
Label column. This means that the type and model number of the hardware resource
information does not match the type and model of the configuration description
that is currently associated with that resource. The server cannot vary on
the configuration description.
- *INCORRECT -- where the physical location is also ' **'.
This identifies a controller or device description that no longer has a valid
resource on the server.
- If there are any locations where the server label
information is not the same as the (physical) label, on the Change Description
Label Locations display, type 2 in the Opt column for each location that requires
a label change. Press Enter. The Change Description Label display appears.
Note: You may make more than one selection at a time, but if More... appears
on the bottom of the display, do not press Enter. Instead, page forward to
select the remaining labels.
- A list of possible label names is shown. To select the label name
(on the display) that matches the label that was on the source server, type
1 in the Opt column for each location that you want to change and press Enter.
Note: If you cannot find the label (on the display) that matches the
label on the source server, contact your service representative.
- If you chose to change more than one label, the Change Description
Label display appears for the next label. A message at the bottom of the display
indicates whether the previous change was successful.
- For all the labels that need a change, repeat the previous three
steps.
- After you change the last label, the Change Description Label Locations
display appears with the updated information. A message at the bottom of the
display indicates whether the last change was successful. If More... appears
on the bottom of the display, scroll forward to view more information.
- Press the F17 key on the Change Description Label display to request
a printout of the new information for your records.
Note: The printout
will be in the default output queue for your workstation. You can print it
later when you vary on your printer devices and start printer writers.
- Verify that the labels on the printout match the labels in the
Label column on your source server. If you find any errors, go back to step 5 and repeat the steps.
Attention: Do not exchange cards for problem analysis purposes.
Card and device serial numbers are tied to the server configuration.
