RE: New AS/400 - Now What?

["Jeffrey Silberberg" <jsilberberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kirk,

      You missed what in my mind would be some important steps.

#5 - Using the Security Advisor questionnaire at
http://www.as400.ibm.com/tstudio/secure1/index_av.htm   set up the security
levels and establish the security policy for your system.

#6 - Setup a Source CLP member and start the SYSVALMOD or what ever you call
it CL program.  This and the CLP from the Security advisor combined should
hold any and all CL commands executed to configure the system suchas
CHGSYSVAL Qanything. This way the changes are documented, and the CL can be
used in the event of a Disaster recovery issue at a latter date.

#7 - Setup any system journals like Security Audits, and Job Accounting for
the Box.

#8 - Now let the world in according to your Security policy !!

#4 Now is a good time for a FULL BACKUP of the base machine. GO
SAVE and take an opt #21.

< SNIP >

At this point or before #4 you need to assign IP addresses,
Setup any networking, Setup the Netfinity/IPCS with NT or whatever if
you have it.

OK call your SW Vendor(s)/Programmer(s)/Consultant(s) etc and
let them started. There will still be lots to do like setting up users
based on the security plan, getting your regular backups started... etc.

Hope this helps...
