Ensure that your order is complete. Analyze the order in a solutions-assurance
review.
Finalize your order based on your solution by completing a solutions
assurance review. Consider whether to complete the tasks yourself or whether
to use a services representative to complete the tasks. Validate the following
items with your reseller or marketing representative when you examine your
order:
- The target server meets solution-performance requirements.
- A thorough hardware and feature-placement and cabling plans are in place.
- Software requirements are identified for all logical partitions.
- There is assured ability to maintain data, hardware configuration, and
business continuity requirements such as backup and recovery
plans and side-by-side upgrade consideration.
- Customer acceptance criteria are established.
- A backup plan is in place.
- The System Planning Tool (SPT) information, which is
used to plan LPAR configurations, is appropriate.
- Ensure there is interoperability of applications and utilities
between different software releases if the system shares data or interconnects
with other systems.
