The system configuration list is a printed record of your system
contents. You need to know your system configuration when you plan to install
or change any hardware or software and when you recover from a disaster or
evaluate the results of a major system change.
Note: For partitioned systems, you must print the system configuration
list from each partition. The system configuration list shows only the hardware
resources that are assigned to that partition. To have a complete view of
the system configuration of the entire system, you must obtain the printout
from every partition. It is preferred that each time you make configuration
changes to a partition, you obtain the latest system configuration list of
the partition afterwards.
If you are printing a configuration list from
your primary partition or secondary partition, see Printing system configuration for logical partitions.
You
must configure Service Tools user IDs before starting SST. For more information
about how to configure a user ID, see Managing service tools user IDs using DST and SST.
Your
user ID must have Hardware Service Manager authority.
To print the system configuration list, follow these steps:
- Start System Service Tools (SST). On any command line,
type STRSST (Start System Service Tools) and press Enter.
- Sign on to SST with your user ID.
- Select option 1 (Start a service tool).
- Select option 7 (Hardware Service Manager).
- Use the Print function key (F6) on the Hardware Service Manager
display to request a printout. The Print Format Options display
appears. You can sort the information by location or by logical address.
Notes: - The logical address sort and location sort are available only in 132-character
width.
- The logical hardware and the packaging hardware have unique resource names.
To collect more details about the system configuration list, you can select
the Print function key from a display other than the Hardware Service Manager
display, but the system prints only the information that appears on the display.
To
display or print details that include descriptions about the system bus, main
storage, or processor, follow these steps:
- Select the Logical Hardware Resources option.
- On the Logical Hardware Resources display, select one of the
following options to display details:
- System bus resources
- Processor resources
- Main storage resources
Your system configuration list prints on the printer that you
specified.
The printout consists of the following sections:
- System information, which includes the system type, model, serial number,
and release.
- Packaging hardware resource information, which includes the resource name,
type and model, serial number, part number, frame ID, card position, and device
position.
- Logical hardware resource information, which includes the resource name,
type and model, serial number, and logical address.
- A legend, which includes the descriptions of the indicators and logical
address format information.
Use the legend to help you interpret the information.
