.FO OFF IBM i PTF Shipping Information Letter IBM i CUMULATIVE PTF PACKAGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SF99710 Level 16120 PACKAGE ID: C6120710 VERSION 7 RELEASE 1.0 Cumulative PTF Package Instructions Last Updated: 05/19/2016 Note: Online copy of this document is the master. Any printed copy should be assumed to be obsolete and not used unless the date of last update is verified to match that shown on the online master copy. The information contained in this document was current at the time this cumulative PTF package was made available. We recommend you get the most current information (including a more detailed installation instructions version if desired) which can be found via the following URL: http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.nsf/sline003home From this Web site, select "All Preventive Service Planning Documents by Release", then select "R710". PSP SF98710 lists HIPER PTFs not included in this cumulative PTF package and any defective PTFs identified since this package was released. You will receive the cumulative PTF package in one of three different formats: * Electronically downloaded as individual PTF save files * Electronically downloaded as optical image files * Physical optical media (when it cannot be downloaded electronically) The installation instructions contained in this document will guide you through the install steps needed for each format. REVIEW PTF COVER LETTERS As with any PTF order, before you install the PTFs you should review the cover letter of each delivered PTF for any special instructions that may need to be followed. The cumulative PTF package media itself does not have any PTF cover letters because any special instructions that need to be followed for the cumulative package are contained in this document. However, when you ordered your cumulative PTF package, you were automatically sent the latest HIPER and Database PTF groups along with the cumulative PTF package. You should review the cover letters for the PTFs in these groups that are applicable to your system. The commands needed for copying and printing (or displaying) the PTF cover letter(s) are included below. 1. COPYING PTF COVER LETTERS: * Mount the PTF media and sign on using a security officer user profile such as QSECOFR. * To copy all cover letters from media onto the system for PTFs that are not already applied to your system, enter the following command: CPYPTFCVR DEV(device_name) LICPGM(*ALL) SELECT(*NOTAPY) * To copy a specific cover letter from media onto the system, enter the following command: CPYPTFCVR DEV(device_name) LICPGM(product_id) SELECT(ptf_id) 2. DISPLAYING OR PRINTING PTF COVER LETTERS: * The PTF cover letters must be copied from the media first before they can be displayed or printed. * To display or print cover letters for all PTFs that are currently not applied on your system, enter one of the following commands: DSPPTFCVR LICPGM(*ALL) SELECT(*NOTAPY) DSPPTFCVR LICPGM(*ALL) SELECT(*NOTAPY) OUTPUT(*PRINT) Note: You can also specify CVRATR(*SPCINST) on the DSPPTFCVR command to view all cover letters that have special instructions. * To display or print a specific cover letter, enter one of the following commands: DSPPTFCVR LICPGM(product_id) SELECT(ptf_id) DSPPTFCVR LICPGM(product_id) SELECT(ptf_id) OUTPUT(*PRINT) * PTF TC16120 is the Cumulative PTF package cover letter and contains a list of all PTFs contained in this cumulative PTF package. To display the Cumulative PTF package cover letter, enter one of the following commands: DSPPTFCVR LICPGM(5770SS1) SELECT(TC16120) DSPPTFCVR LICPGM(5770SS1) SELECT(TC16120) OUTPUT(*PRINT) READ THIS FIRST 1. Failure to follow these instructions may result in failure of your system to operate. Follow the directions carefully every time you install a cumulative PTF package. 2. Cumulative PTF packages must be installed delayed for proper PTF installation. Do NOT use any immediate apply install options to install this package; otherwise, unpredictable results may occur. 3. Vital PTF information: Application of PTFs within this cumulative PTF package may disable or render ineffective programs that use system memory addresses not generated by the IBM® translator, including programs that circumvent control technology designed to limit interactive capacity to purchased levels. These PTFs may be prerequisites for future PTFs. By applying these PTFs you authorize and agree to the foregoing. 4. Each of these PTFs is subject to the terms of the license agreement which accompanied, or was contained in, the Program for which you are obtaining such PTF. You are not authorized to install or use any such PTF except as part of the Program for which you have a valid Proof of Entitlement. SUBJECT TO ANY WARRANTIES WHICH CAN NOT BE EXCLUDED OR EXCEPT AS EXPLICITLY AGREED TO IN THE APPLICABLE LICENSE AGREEMENT OR AN APPLICABLE SUPPORT AGREEMENT, IBM MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON INFRINGEMENT, REGARDING EACH PTF. The applicable license agreement may have been provided to you in printed form and/or may be viewed using the Work with Software Agreements (WRKSFWAGR) CL command. 5. Please review the special instructions for PTF 5761DP4-SI36668 which is included in this package (if you have that product installed). NOTE: PTF cover letters are available at http://www-912.ibm.com/a_dir/as4ptf.nsf/as4ptfhome 6. IMPORTANT - If you plan to load additional PTF volume sets when installing this cumulative package (such as the HIPER/Database PTF group volume set that shipped with this package), but you have Licensed Internal Code PTFs MF58350 or MF58574 currently applied (without the correcting PTF MF58616), you will first need to download PTF 5770999-MF58616 as a save file (via SNDPTFORD or Fix Central "Download individual fixes" option) and install it from Device *SERVICE (to avoid receiving an OPT1815 error during the load of the additional volume set). 7. To prevent a PTF install failure and automate any extra required IPLs, PTF SI46137 must be active BEFORE installing this cumulative PTF package. Enter the following command to determine if PTF SI46137 is active: DSPPTF LICPGM(5770SS1) SELECT(SI46137) If the status is Temporarily applied or Permanently applied, the PTF is active. If the status is Superseded, verify that the superseding PTF is Temporarily applied or Permanently applied. If PTF SI46137 is not found or not active, electronically download SI46137 and its requisites as save files, and use GO PTF, option 8 to temporarily apply PTF SI46137 from Device *SERVICE BEFORE installing this cumulative PTF Package. 8. If your system has product 5770BR1 installed and PTF 5770BR1-SI58958 is not already applied to your system, that PTF will be automatically pre-applied in immediate mode at the beginning of the install. If applicable, observe the following special instruction for that PTF: "All BRMS activity must be stopped while this ptf is being applied and users must signoff and on again before using BRMS after the ptf is applied". 9. Attention Content Manager OnDemand - 5770RD1 - Users. If you have Content Manager OnDemand - 5770RD1 - installed, please see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21427866 for any important special instructions. 10. If PTF 5770999-MF99008 is not Permanently applied nor superseded by a Permanently applied PTF, there may not be enough reserved loadsource storage available to install PTF 5770999-MF99010 or higher. To prevent the PTF install from failing with CPF362C (Insufficient storage for Licensed Internal Code fix), restore Licensed Internal Code (LIC) level "RS 710-N" (May 2015) or higher before installing this cumulative PTF package. If you have questions on how to restore LIC, contact your service provider. NOTE: If you have any LIC PTFs on your system that are not included in this cumulative PTF package, you will need to re-install those PTFs after restoring LIC. Also, if you restore LIC for this issue, the following instruction regarding PTF SI43588/SI47010 is not required because their purpose is to permanently apply a set of LIC PTFs which are already included in the LIC you restored. 11. Function in PTF SI43588 will ensure your system has enough space to install Licensed Internal Code fixes. PTF SI43588 must be active BEFORE installing this cumulative PTF package. Enter the following command to determine if PTF SI43588 is active: DSPPTF LICPGM(5770SS1) SELECT(SI43588) If the status is Temporarily applied or Permanently applied, the PTF is active. If the status is Superseded, verify that the superseding PTF is Temporarily applied or Permanently applied. If PTF SI43588 is not found or not active, electronically download superseding PTF SI47010 and its requisites as save files, and temporarily apply SI47010 BEFORE installing this cumulative PTF Package. 12. All systems with EXP24S SFF Gen2-bay Drawer (Feature #5887) attached PLEASE READ! http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1020265 13. Starting in November 2013, server firmware PTFs (which typically start with PTF prefix MHxxxxx) were no longer included in cumulative PTF packages. For more information on the most current server firmware PTF levels, see http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/DocNumber/390479644 14. If you received this cumulative PTF package as physical optical media, it is strongly recommended that you create an image catalog from the media and perform the PTF install from a virtual optical device. This may avoid multiple IPLs during the PTF installation. 15. The approximate install time for this cumulative PTF package is one to two hours. 16. You should have a current backup of your system before applying this package. If you have backed up your system since the last time you applied PTFs, that backup is acceptable. 17. If you are running on the A storage area, perform a normal IPL from the B IPL source. To determine the storage area you are running from, type DSPPTF 5770999 and press Enter. On the Display PTF Status display, the storage area is identified in the IPL source field. ##MACH#A is the A storage area and ##MACH#B is the B storage area. 18. Be sure the IPL mode is set at Normal on the control panel and sign on using a security officer user profile such as QSECOFR. 19. DO NOT cancel any of the steps once they are started. Allow each step to complete normally. 20. Select the appropriate INSTALL steps below based on the format in which you received the cumulative PTF package. 21. The PTF install processing will automatically pre-apply the following PTFs when applicable: 5770SS1-SI50907, 5770SS1-SI47250, 5770SS1-SI39782, 5770999-MF58517, 5770999-MF56192, 5770999-MF51908, 5770BR1-SI58958 and 5770DG1-SI48830.
