Actions you can take after you order a z196 and z114 server

After you order, but before you install your zEnterprise server, do the following:
  1. Use the CHPID Mapping Tool. As you might have done with your z10™ EC, z10 BC, z9® EC or z9 BC servers, use the CHPID Mapping Tool to map logical CHPIDs to physical channels (PCHIDs) and create input to HCD/IOCP for your zEnterprise server. The tool is a workstation-based Java™ application available from the Resource Link® web site (http://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink). For more information about this tool, refer to the web site.
  2. Define an Ensemble. If you are running z/OS® V1R10 or later, you can define an Ensemble and exploit the IBM® zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager. See System z® Ensemble Planning and Configuration Guide (GC27-2608) for the steps required to define an Ensemble.
