Correcting hardware resource names after an upgrade

To adjust these hardware resource names, perform these steps for each IBM® i partition:

1. At the IBM i command line, enter WRKHDWPRD.
2. On the Work with Hardware Products display, select option 5 (Change description label locations), and then press Enter.
3. Read the information on the Using Change Label Locations display, and then press Enter.

4. Compare the label information on the display with the source server's label locations. Label information matches if the Label column on the display matches that of the source server. Label information does not match if any one of the following conditions is true:

   • The display has label information, but the source server did not have label information in that location.
   • The source server label information does not match the information found in the Label column on the display.
   • *NONE appears in the Label column on the display, and there is label information for the source server. Note: When *NONE appears in the Label column for a controller or device that was added or upgraded, select option 2 (Change). Then, select the correct label description from the list provided. If you experience any problems, call your authorized service provider.
   • *INCORRECT or *INVALID appears in the Label column. This means that the type and model number of the hardware resource information does not match the type and model of the configuration description that is currently associated with that resource. The server cannot vary on the configuration description.
   • *INCORRECT, where the physical location is also **. This identifies a controller or device description that no longer has a valid resource on the server.
5. If there are any locations where the server label information is not the same as the (physical) label, on the Change Description Label Locations display, type 2 in the Opt column for each location that requires a label change. Press Enter. The Change Description Label display appears.
   Note: You might make more than one selection at a time, but if More appears on the bottom of the display, do not press Enter. Instead, page forward to select the remaining labels.

6. Type 1 in the Opt column for each location that you want to change, and press Enter to select the label name (on the display), which matches the label that was on the source server.

   Note: If you cannot find the label (on the display) that matches the label on the source server, contact your authorized service provider.

   If you chose to change more than one label, the Change Description Label display appears for the next label. A message at the bottom of the display indicates whether the previous change was successful.

7. For all the labels that need a change, repeat the previous three steps starting with step 4.
8. Scroll forward to view more information if More appears on the bottom of the display. This occurs after you change the last label. The Change Description Label Locations display appears with the updated information. A message at the bottom of the display indicates whether the last change was successful.
9. Press the F17 key on the Change Description Label display to request a printout of the new information for your records.
   Note: The printout is in the default output queue for your workstation. You can print it later when you vary on the printer devices and start printer writers.
10. Verify that the labels on the printout match the labels in the Label column on your source server. If you find any errors, go back to step 5 and repeat the steps.

    Attention: Do not exchange cards for problem analysis purposes. Card and device serial numbers are part of the server configuration.
