Checking the consistency of a server complex

You can check the consistency of a server complex. To do this, there must be at least one Linux guest system in the server complex and at least one configuration domain that can be validated with defined properties.

The domain being validated may be either VMRM, minidisks, or network. The scripts domain cannot be validated.

Complete the following steps to check the consistency of a server complex:

  1. If it is not started already, start the Server Complexes task for the z/VM system you want to work with.
  2. Select a server complex.
  3. Click ActionCheck Consistency.
    Note: As an alternative method, you can right-click the server complex and choose Check Consistency.
  4. The actual configuration is validated against the configuration implied by the server complex properties:
    • For the minidisks and network domains, the configuration is validated for each included Linux guest system.
    • For the VMRM domain, the configuration of the VMRM is validated.
    • For the scripts domain, there is no validation.
If an inconsistency is found, it is reported in the Progress Indication window and theLinux guest system icons and consistency statuses are updated. Any VMRM inconsistency results in an inconsistent status indication for all included Linux guest systems.
Note: If the consistency check action itself fails (e.g., if a Linux guest system is offline), the Linux guest system status is not updated and the failure is reported in the Progress Indication window.
