RE: AS400 system configuration 820/2436

Chris, you might try downloading the LVT (LPAR Validation Tool) even
though you are just doing a single partition.  It should help you
validate what can go into your various card slots in the 820/2436.  You
should be able to find it in the iSeries Info Center by searching on
LVT.  

Good luck,
Glenn

Subject: AS400 system configuration 820/2436

Does anyone know where I can find info for configuring an AS400?  I want
to know if I can move some cards from a migration tower to the system
unit. Where oh where can I find the old configuration utility.  I would
love to plug in my rack config and see if I can add the cards into the
three empty slots.

>From what I have found, I should be able to move my 2746 Twinax cards 
>into
slots C01 and C02 or C07.  I would also like to move a 2838 10/100 into
one of the 3 empty slots.  I would then be in a position to get rid of
the whole migration tower.  ( After replacing the DASD of course. )

What I have 
C01 - empty
C02 - empty
C03 - 2745 Comm.
C04 - 2745 Comm.
C05 -   2778 Disk Storage Ctl
C06 - 2771 Comm.
Embedded IOP

Boundary line ( the embedded IOP controls the first 6 slots)

C07 - empty
C08 - 2746 WS Ctl
C09 - 2745 Comm.
C10 - 2749 Tape Storage Ctl
C11 - 2746 WS Ctl
C12 - 2843 IOP
The IOP in C12 controls Slot C07 - C11
