System installation planning
Last Updated: 2021-07-19
Thorough planning ensures that you have everything to meet all the prerequisites for the successful setup and installation of the system.
Planning minimizes errors during installation and enables a quicker upgrade or installation. This planning information helps you integrate the system into your data center, plan power and environmental needs, and prepare for any unique configurations you need to handle.
To ensure that planning is completed successfully, assign a planning project manager to provide a documented plan that includes the following items:
A timeline for the activities
Each major activity phase and the intended outcome
A list of responsibilities and the person assigned
A current system diagram and configuration listing. Include all hardware content, software content, cabling, and other pertinent configuration items, particularly if this is a modification to an existing system
Note: Give special attention to disk units, clustering, and logical partition (LPAR) system configurations.
A key contacts list, including off-hours contact information for all key task or activities participants
A plan for communicating appropriate elements of your plan with key personnel.
Completing a Technical Delivery Assessment (TDA) document is part of the purchasing process of Cloud Pak System. This document centralizes all the information that is needed to install your system.
Site-readiness planning
Use the site-readiness planning when preparing scenarios for a new installation, a model upgrade, hardware modifications, or software modifications.
Network configuration planning
As you plan for installing systems in your data center, review information about the network resources and your configuration options.
Hardware overview
Review the overall system layout and the physical location of each device in the system.
