Confirming the System Configuration
This section describes how to check the hardware and software configurations.
The system configuration must be the same before and after maintenance work. If an
error occurs in the system, record the system configuration and the FRU state before
starting maintenance. After maintenance, confirm that the system configuration is the
same as that before maintenance.
