22. Verify Resized Target System
22. Verify Resized Target System
In this step, you run two validation checks on the resized target system.
22.1 Verify That Added Enclosures Appear in System
Configuration
If the system console attached to the target system is running the OSM or TSM Low-
Level Link:
Step Action Result
1. Log off of the OSM or TSM
Low-Level Link.
These actions synchronize the OSM or TSM
Low-Level Link with the resized system.
2. Log back on.
3. From the OSM or TSM
Low-Level Link window, click
System Discovery.
The Management window appears.
The display might take several minutes to finish.
4. In the tree pane, located on the
left side of the window, double-
click the icon for the system.
All enclosures, including the enclosures just
added, should be displayed.
The display might take several minutes to finish.
If all enclosures do not become visible after
several minutes, see System Discovery Does Not
Show All CRUs or Enclosures on page 7-13.
5. Log on to the OSM Service
Connection or TSM Service
Application.
The Management window appears. All
enclosures, including the enclosures just added,
should be displayed.
The display might take several minutes to finish.
If all enclosures do not become visible after
several minutes, or if red or yellow Abnormal
State icons appear, see System Discovery Does
Not Show All CRUs or Enclosures on page 7-13.
