Data Integrity and VerificationIBM computer systems contain mechanisms designed to reduce the possibility ofundetected data corruption or loss. This risk, however, cannot be eliminated. Users whoexperience unplanned outages, system failures, power fluctuations or outages, orcomponent failures must verify the accuracy of operations performed and data saved ortransmitted by the system at or near the time of the outage or failure. In addition, usersmust establish procedures to ensure that there is independent data verification beforerelying on such data in sensitive or critical operations. Users should periodically checkthe IBM support websites for updated information and fixes applicable to the system andrelated software.xi
