  • IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 22, Number 2

    January 15, 2020 Doug Bidwell

    As you well know, there is an issue with LPARs that are hanging on machines that have the latest Technology Refreshes applied to IBM i 7.3 and IBM i 7.4 in cases where the Hardware Management Console (HMC) is not managing the partitions. The details of the issue with the Technology Refreshes are outlined in APAR MA48101, and what it means is that a guest partition created with Virtual Partition Manager (VPM) inside SST or Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) will hang on IPL after the apply of the TRs. This gets real elaborate, so we strongly suggest you review the document at this link before proceeding.

    As expected, IBM has issued a new resave for 7.3, I-base-J. The only solution to prevent the hang condition for VPM managed guest partitions is to first slip the LIC (licensed internal code) with J, then restore from backup, then load and apply latest Cume and groups. If none of this makes sense, contact me at tuner@dlbassoc.com and we can go over it.

    In other PTF news, there is a new HTTP Server Group for IBM i 7.2 and 7.3. And MCH1001 Received using some BRMS commands after BRMS PTF Installation; see this link for the info relating to IBM i 7.4, 7.3, and 7.2 and to get the fixing PTF. Also, there is updated microcode (also known as firmware) for Machine-Type Model: 9008-22L; 9009-22A; 9009-41A; 9009-42A; 9223-22H; 9223-42H. System Firmware Level: VL940_034. See the link on “Links” worksheet for more on that.

    As for your weekly tip, here’s an easy one: Stay current on fixes!

    The Guide at a glance: There are new defectives this week (01/11/20). Here is the defective PTF rundown, which is the last defective for each release:

    	Defect		Defective	APAR	Fixing
    	Date		PTF			PTF
    	--------	--------	-------	-------
    7.4	12/09/19	SI70924		SE72609	SI71719 (available!)
    

    Note that PTF SI71719 is a distribution requisite of the latest Technology Refresh (TR) PTF. If you have applied the latest TR PTF to your system, you should apply the fixing PTF SI71719 for i 7.4.

    7.3	12/09/19	SI70923		SE72609	SI71718 (available!)
    

    Note that PTF SI71718 is a distribution requisite of the latest Technology Refresh (TR) PTF. If you have applied the latest TR PTF to your system, you should apply the fixing PTF SI71718 for i 7.3.

    7.2	07/29/19	SI69654		SE71792	SI70596 (5733SC1, OpenSSH, available!)
    7.1	07/29/19	SI69653		SE71807	SI70603 (5733SC1, OpenSSH, available!)
    

    Be sure to access the link in the Guide for further details.

    There’s Always A New Last Laugh With Legacy Four Hundred Monitor, January 15

    One thought on “IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 22, Number 2”

    • Jozsef Torok says:

      Hi Doug,
      You may already be aware of this, but the link doesn’t work for MCH0001 received when using some BRMS commands after applying a new BRMS PTF. All I get is a 400 Bad Request.

      https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1168402?myns=ibmi&mynp=OCSSTS2D&mynp=OCSS9QQS&mync=E&cm_sp=ibmi-_-OCSSTS2D-OCSS9QQS-_-E

      I had the same issue with a recent IBM My Notifications:
      Users may receive MCH1001 “Attempt to use permanent system object (Q1A*) without authority”,
      after installing one of the following PTFs:
      V7R2. 5770BR1 – SI71132
      V7R3. 5770BR1 – SI71133
      V7R4. 5770BR1 – SI71134

      That same link was provided, with the same 400 Bad Request result.

      Regards,
      Jozsef
