Correcting problems with the system resource management information

The system resource management (SRM) information provides a link between the hardware on your system and the software descriptions of that hardware (the configuration).

When you restore your configuration to a different system, you should not restore the SRM information because it will not match the hardware on the target system. Sometimes during a system upgrade, you are instructed to restore the SRM information to your system even though some of your hardware has changed.

If you have restored the SRM information and the hardware configuration does not match, use the following procedure to correct the SRM information:

  1. Type STRSST and press the Enter key to access system service tools (SST).
  2. Select Option 1 (Start a service tool) from the System Service Tools menu and press Enter.
  3. Select Option 7 (Hardware service manager) from the Start a Service Tool menu and press Enter.
  4. Select Option 2 (Logical hardware resources) from the Hardware Service Manager menu and press Enter.
  5. Select Option 1 (System bus resources) from the Logical Hardware Resources menu and press Enter.
  6. Select F10 (Non-reporting resources) to display any nonreporting resources.
    Any hardware resources that did not report during the last initial program load (IPL) or that were created during the last Restore Configuration (RSTCFG) command will be displayed.
  7. Type a 4 (Remove) in the Option column to delete any entry you are certain is not valid for this system's configuration.
