Issue/Introduction

I just installed CA Common Services (CCS) 15.0 PTF SO15509 for z/15 machine upgrade.

How can I verify that CAMASTER has used correct CATARGHW module of PTF SO15509 during/after IPL?

Environment

Release : 15.0
Component : CA Master

Resolution

Two methods to verify whether expected version of CATARGHW was loaded for current hardware:

1. You will NOT see the following message in the system logrec. Where 'xxxx' is the machine type associated with the hardware.
   
   CATHW03W machine type xxxx unknown
   
   
2. You can browse module CATARGHW found from a LNKLST search and do a find for 'machine type'. Following this you will see the string of hardware machine types defined.
