  • IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 22, Number 12

    March 23, 2020 Doug Bidwell

    It is a quiet in IBM i PTF Land this week, and that is to be expected with the coronavirus outbreak finally – and very regretfully but not unexpectedly – making its way around the global. But we will continue to put out the IBM i PTF Guide like clockwork because keeping mission critical systems up to date and humming along is more important than ever, even if the volume of business for most companies is, at this point with few exceptions, hard to guess.

    We are here to help, and if you run into trouble on your systems because your programmers or administrators are out sick, reach out to us and we will see what we can do to help. Our ability to do so will, of course, depend on the amount of work that will pile up during this crisis.

    There were not major PTF updates to the four most commonly used and mostly current releases of IBM i this week – including, of course, the withdrawn IBM i 7.1 and its follow-ons IBM i 7.2 and 7.3 and the shiny new IBM i 7.4. We do have some new and updated links in the guide this week, however:

    • IMGCLG: CRTIMGCLG Specifying IFS Path in /QNTC Fails
    • IMGCLG: Image Catalog and Virtual Media – Maximum Capacities and Limitations
    • IMGCLG: Upgrade Using NFS Remote Virtual Image Catalog

    Tips: This one is simple. Six feet apart, or you or someone you love could be six feet under. Decisions, decisions, decisions!

    The Guide at a glance: There are new defectives this week (03/21/20). 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.

    Integrate Virtual Tape to Automate Your Backups And Strengthen Your Ability To Recover From Cyber Attacks And Disasters

    With most IT departments stretched thin, finding something that can quickly free up IT time is definitely a bonus. That’s why it’s important to stop and take a look at integrating virtual tape into your backup and recovery. Virtual tape is one of those technologies where once you have it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. See a demo and get a $50 gift card.

    But what is it about using virtual tape that makes it so worthwhile? Why is it that so many IBM i shops are already using or considering using virtual tape for all or part of their backup and recovery systems?

    Virtual tape and virtual tape libraries offer a way to both simplify and strengthen backup and recovery operations. By incorporating virtual tape technology, automation of backups becomes possible resulting in hundreds of hours saved annually for IT departments and personnel.

    “We needed to find a replacement that would lower the maintenance cost and reduce complexity of our backup and recovery functions without a major disruption to our operations.” David Fray, Director of Enterprise Systems, ABC Financial

    LaserVault ViTL is a virtual tape and tape library solution developed specifically for use with IBM Power Systems (from AS/400 to iSeries to Power 9s). With ViTL you can:

    • Replace physical tape and tape libraries and eliminate associated delays
    • Automate backup operations, including the ability to purge or archive backups
    • Remotely manage your backups – no need to be onsite with your server
    • Save backups to a dedupe appliance and the cloud
    • Recover your data at lightspeed greatly improving your ability to recover from cyberattacks
    • And so much more

    Sign-up now to see a ViTL online demo and get a $50 Amazon e-gift card when the demo is complete as our way of saying thanks for your time. Plus when you sign-up you’ll receive a free facts comparison sheet on using virtual tape vs tape so you can compare the functionality for yourself.
