Ensure that your order is complete. Analyze the order in
a solutions-assurance review.
Finalize your order based on your solution by completing
a solutions assurance review. Consider whether to complete the tasks
yourself or whether to use a services representative to complete the
tasks. Validate the following items with your IBM® reseller or marketing representative when
you examine your order:
- The target server meets solution-performance requirements.
- A thorough hardware and feature-placement and cabling plans are
in place.
- Software requirements are identified for all logical partitions.
- The ability to maintain data, hardware configuration, and business
continuity requirements such as backup and recovery plans and side-by-side
upgrade consideration is assured.
- Customer acceptance criteria are established.
- A backup plan is in place.
- The System Planning Tool (SPT) information,
which is used to plan LPAR configurations, is appropriate.
- Ensure the interoperability of applications and utilities between
different software releases if the system shares data or interconnects
with other systems.
