- At the IBM i command
line, enter WRKHDWPRD.
- On the Work with Hardware Products display, select option 5 (Change description
label locations), and then press Enter.
- Read the information on the Using Change Label Locations display, and
then press Enter.
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.
- 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.
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.
- For all the labels that need a change, repeat the previous three steps
starting with step 4.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
