You can use the System Service Tools in the i operating system
to find the current system configuration.
Before you begin, you must know the location codes used for
the PCI adapter slots on the system with which you are working.
To find the current system configuration, start an i session and sign
on. If you have more than one system, start a session on the system
that is being upgraded and for which you have service tools authority.
Follow these steps:
- Type strsst on
the command line of the Main Menu and press Enter.
- Type your service tools user ID and service tools password
on the Start Service Tools (STRSST) Sign On display and press Enter.
- Select Start a service tool from
the System Service Tools (SST) display and press Enter.
- Select Hardware service manager from
the Start a Service Tool display and press Enter.
- Select Packaging hardware resources (system,
frames, cards) from the Hardware Service Manager display
and press Enter.
- Type 9 on the System
Unit line and press Enter.
- Select Include empty positions.
- Look for the PCI adapter location codes
in the Location column.
- Write down the Type-Model number for each PCI adapter location. Some adapters can show multiple, virtual ports. It is not necessary
to write down these virtual locations.
- Write down any PCI adapter locations that are listed in
the Description column as an Empty Position. The Type-Model
number is blank for empty positions.
- Press F12 to return to the previous window.
