General fix

This PTF includes a fix to enable HMC to use TLS 1.2 communication protocol with IBM cloud storage. This is a mandatory fix if you are using IBM Cloud Management Console for Power System (CMC) service. The PTF must be applied on every Power HMC where HMC cloud connector is enabled and data is pushed to CMC.

To check if cloud connector is currently configured and active use the command: lssvc -s cloudconn.

Note:

This PTF needs to be re-installed if you install any additional service Pack or PTF on top of this PTF.
