This is not new news, but recurring news. IBM has once again pushed the implementation date of an IP change for tech support out a couple of times, and, here it is again. IBM’s notice:
“Due to technical issues, the September 19/20 change has been postponed. Additional guidance will be provided by October 6, 2023. For those that have adjusted their firewall configuration, please do not remove the new entries until we provide further guidance. Preparing customer firewalls and proxies for the upcoming infrastructure changes – Call Home, Electronic Fix Distribution.”
You can find out more about this issue, which is classified as a High Impact and/or Pervasive issue, at this link. Here’s the gist: “Public internet IP addresses are changing for the IBM servers that support Call Home and electronic download of fixes for customer system’s software, hardware, and operating system. This change pertains to all operating systems and applications connecting to IBM for electronic Call Home and fix download. Customer action might be required to ensure uninterrupted Call Home and fix delivery services.” So click on the link for further details!
