Content
The Service Pack contains all the known fixes since 7.2.2 SP1 release. See the complete list of APARs included in the later section.
NOTE: When the GUI server restarts after its update is complete, the GUI agents on all connected clusters might need to be restarted to restore their communication connection with the server. An agent can be restarted using "stopsrc -s phauiagent; sleep 11; startsrc -s phauiagent", or as an alternative, rediscover each cluster.
