Verification procedures

You can check communications and various hardware units and devices for correct operation by performing verification procedures.

Notes: There are two primary methods used to verify communications and hardware:

Hardware Service Manager - Verify
Verify Communications (VFYCMN)

Verification support for a hardware type is generally available under one or the other, but not both. Verification for most Version 4 or newer hardware is available under the Hardware Service Manager - Verify option, which can be run from either DST or SST. For details, see Verify the installed part. If you need to run the VFYCMN command, you must perform an IPL to start i5/OS®. For more information on running the VFYCMN command, see Verify communications.
