Hi,
If you are talking about the OS.

1. If should have booted proberly.
2. Tryi running commands to connect to other systems (Telnet, ping, remsh & ftp)
3. Check that other system are able to reach this system
4. Check the /etc/rc.log
5. Check your syslog and dmesg
6. Check all applications and users are happy....

Check that the system is mirrored...
lvlnboot -v....

Hi Manuales:

You need to define "ok".

To me, it includes things like:

1. All patches been applied to the base release.

2. All applications software has been loaded (e.g. C, perl, glance, STM, etc.)

3. Security has been tightened and reviewed (e.g. with Bastille).

4. The end-user application software is loaded, configured and running.

5. Performance has been monitored; kernel parameters have been tuned; disk I/O balanced; and there are no dis-satisfied customers.

Regards!
