v Operating system software
– Type and version level
Note: To eliminate confusion, identical systems are considered identical only if
they:
1. Are the exact machine type and models
2. Have the same BIOS level
3. Have the same adapters/attachments in the same locations
4. Have the same address jumpers/terminators/cabling
5. Have the same software versions and levels
6. Have the same Diagnostic Diskettes (version)
7. Have the same configuration options set in the system
8. Have the same setup for the operating system control files
Comparing
the configuration and software setup between “working and
non-working” systems will often lead to problem resolution.
