Verification procedures
You can check communications and various hardware units and devices for correct
operation by performing verification procedures.
Note: There are two primary methods used to verify communications and
hardware:
1. Hardware Service Manager - Verify
2. Verify Communications (VFYCMN)
Verification support for a hardware type is generally available under one or
the other, but not both. Verification for most Version 4 or newer hardware is
available under the Hardware Service Manager - Verify option, which can be
run from either DST or SST (see “Hardware Service Manager — Verify”). If
you need to run the VFYCMN command, you must IPL up to OS/400. (For
more information on running VFYCMN, see “Verify communications” on
page 308.)
