System brand
Enter a 2-character brand type. The first character must be one of the following: D (IBM
Storage), I (IBM iSeries), N (OEM iSeries only), O (OEM pSeries only), or P (IBM pSeries),
and the second character is reserved. A value of zero means that there is no specific
information associated with it. This entry is write once only, except in the case where it is all
blanks, or when changing from a pSeries system to an IBM Storage system. Any other
changes are disallowed. A valid value is required for the machine to boot. Additionally, for
IBM Storage, each of the systems that constitutes the storage facility must have the first
character set to D for storage to be accessible online.
