Those system plans can be what you imported, or you can take the actual
configuration and build a sysplan for export. The later is what I always
do, even if I had originally imported the system plan that I built on my PC
using the SPT. The reason is that the serial numbers of everything is
exported, and it is a great documentation tool for the customer, and even
better when it comes to doing an upgrade for me. I have all the
information.
Now, sometimes the HMC/SPT can't figure out exactly what a card is,
and you have to help it out. But that is ok, beats the h3ll out of typing
in all that data on serial numbers. Also, since the HMC is only concerned
with IOP/IOAs, that is what you get. You don't get anything hanging off
those IOAs.

Subject: HMC Collection Utilization Data/HMC System Plans ?
Does anyone today run this on there HMC?? Is there any reason not to run
it, does it aide in pinpointing anything that may or may not be going on
etc. I am looking to get some bencmark(s) on what is taking place etc via
HMC/LPAR management in case I need to make some eventual changes.
System Plans, are these what the machine was really designed from and then
setup against or ?? Looking for an explanation on just what they do/don't
do/should do.
Thanks.
