Background for IBM's checks
IBM Health Checker for z/OS check
routines look at an installation's configuration or environment to
look for potential problems. The values used by checks come from a
variety of sources including product documentation and web sites,
such as:
- z/OS® system test
- z/OS Service
- Parallel Sysplex Availability Checklist
- IBM Redbooks
- IBM Technical Support Flashes site
For migration to a 64–bit environment, see whitepaper WP100269 “z/OS Performance: Managing Processor Storage in a 64–bit environment”, and the Washington System Center Flash 10086, “Software Capacity Planning: Migration to 64 bit Mode”.
- Parallel Sysplex® and z/OS publications:
You might find that the values that the check uses for comparison are not appropriate for your installation or for a particular system. If that is the case, you can either specify overrides to default values or suppress individual checks. See Managing checks.
