Where does the problem occur?
Determining where the problem originates is not always easy, but it is one of the most important steps in resolving a problem. Many layers of technology can exist between the reporting and failing components.
Tivoli Management Services components, networks, disks, and drivers are only a few of the components to consider when you are investigating problems.
The following questions help you to focus on where the problem
occurs to isolate the problem layer:
- Is the problem specific to one platform or operating system, or is it common across multiple platforms or operating systems?
- Is the current environment and configuration supported?
