10.58 Last, but not least, what system documentation should you have?
Here is my checklist on system documentation for each system:
A list of all hardware by system with model number and serial number and with support contract numbers and contacts
A list of all software by system with license information and with support contract numbers and contacts
DSTAT ALL for each system
DISCFREE C for each system
A SYSGEN listing for each system
An NMMGR listing for each system
A SYSINFO.PRVXL.TELESUP listing for each system (!WARNING!: this program can create a system abort on even a moderately loaded system. Use with extreme caution.)
The contents of the folowing files:
npconfig.pub.sys
services.net.sys
hosts.net.sys
inetdcnf.net.sys
reslvcnf.net.sys
sysstart.pub.sys
A manual log of everything that happens to the system, but especially a log of all RC calls and all configuration changes, including OS updates and patches.
Here is a CI command file I use to create a SYSGEN listing:
parm outf="lp",outp="1"
purge temp > $null
purge temp,temp > $null
file sysglist;dev=!outf,!outp
echo io > temp
echo lc dest=offline >> temp
echo ld dest=offline >> temp
echo lp dest=offline >> temp
echo lv dest=offline >> temp
echo e >> temp
echo misc >> temp
echo sh all dest=offline >> temp
echo e >> temp
echo lo >> temp
echo sh all dest=offline >> temp
echo e >> temp
echo sh all dest=offline >> temp
echo sy >> temp
echo sh all dest=offline >> temp
echo e >> temp
echo e >> temp
save temp
sysgen < temp
reset sysglist
And here is a command file I use to get a listing from NMMGR:
parm outf="lp",outp="1"
purge temp > $null
purge temp,temp > $null
file formlist;dev=!outf,!outp
echo openconf nmconfig.pub.sys > temp
echo summaryconf dts >> temp
echo all >> temp
echo e >> temp
echo exit >> temp
save temp
file nmmgrcmd=temp,old
nmmgr
reset formlist
purge temp > $null
reset nmmgrcmd
