Ideally, you should run a preview before deploying technology
level or service pack updates in your environment. Previews can help
to identify potential installation failures without having to run
the installation commands. You can use the Deployment AIX Health Checks
Dashboard to review and monitor the results for all previews that
were deployed from the AIX
Advanced Deployment Wizard.
In the summary section of the Preview Deployment Results tab,
a pie chart shows a visual representation of filesets with the following
status and property:
Failed fileset installations
Successful fileset installations
Filesets with missing requisites
Locked filesets
The dashboard provides a list of names, version numbers, and descriptions
for all the filesets that were used in the preview.
You can view the status of the targeted endpoints and the completion
date of the preview task from the Preview Deployment System list,
which is in the left side of the dashboard. This list also provides
the completion date of the preview task.Figure 1. Preview Deployment
