I would like to verify that using fixcat category IBM.Device.Server.zBC12-2828
is the same as checking PSP BUCKETS for DEVICE 2828?

You really need to read the PSP and the appropriate level of the z/OS
Migration book's topic about migrating to a new server, but you won't
need the PTF lists in the PSP. Instead, as the PSP says, start with the
FIXCATs for the zEC12, zBC12 *and* any intermediate processors. For
example, if you are coming from a z10 BC, you need the FIXCATs for the
z114 and z196 in addition to the ones for the zEC12 and zBC12.
Personally, I'd go with the wildcard, and just use IBM.Device.Server.*
to pick up everything (almost--see below), but I'm a KISS kind of guy.
But if that's not conservative enough for you (as it will pick up what's
needed for the z13 and z13s at the same time), you can use the lists in
the PSPs for the zBC12 *and* for any earlier servers you didn't run on
to pick what you want instead, based on where you are coming from. This
list goes back to z990:
zBC12 IBM.Device.Server.zBC12-2828*
zEC12 IBM.Device.Server.zEC12-2827*
z114 IBM.Device.Server.z114-2818*
z196 IBM.Device.Server.z196-2817*
z10 BC IBM.Device.Server.z10-BC-2098*
z10 EC IBM.Device.Server.z10-EC-2097*
z9 BC IBM.Device.Server.z9-BC-2096*
z9 EC IBM.Device.Server.z9-EC-2094*
z890 IBM.Device.Server.z890-2086*
z990 IBM.Device.Server.z990-2084*
There are some other things in the PSP you need to know about, too, such
as the FIXCATs for specific functions, such as:
IBM.Function.zEDC
IBM.Device.Server.zBX-2458
IBM.DB2.AnalyticsAccelerator.V2R1
Also, there are the ICSF FIXCATs; which you need to use depends on what
level of ICSF you are running and whether you need to install a web
deliverable for crypto support.
Finally, as the PSP notes, the Flash Express feature requires the RSM
web deliverable if you are on z/OS V1.13.
The authoritative sources for this information, again, are the PSP or
PSPs and the right level of the z/OS Migration book. But we have tried
to structure them to make it easy to find what you need and to provide
the FIXCATs needed to streamline checking for the PTFs you need.
