NOTE: THIS DATE MAY CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE, CHECK THIS FILE BEFORE ORDERING. - Users should order Preventive Service Planning (PSP) information and review the recommended HIPER PTFs on a weekly basis. - The PSPs can be viewed through the Internet at URL: http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.nsf/sline003home - It is important that users review and understand all new software release considerations. This is especially true of discontinued support for selected software and hardware products and/or features. This information is contained within the announcement material. To get the most current information on discontinued products and/or features along with suggested replacements, go to the IBM i operating system Planning Web site: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rzahc/rzahcrelated.htm - To review the IBM i operating system Information Center information on installation, upgrades, and migration, follow the link: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/ select the Migration category and the IBM i operating system and related software category. You may find this information useful to

install hardware and software, upgrade to a different OS/400 release, upgrade your hardware or migrate your data from one server to another. - Hardware Management Console (HMC) The HMC is a dedicated workstation that runs integrated system management software. As with other software, your HMC should be kept current. For HMC Fixes and update information, refer to the HMC Code Updates or the Server Firmware and HMC Wizard documents at Recommended Fixes: http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/recommendedfixes For information regarding general HMC support information, http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/hmc/home.html - Server firmware Server firmware is part of the Licensed Internal Code that enables your hardware. As with other software, your server firmware should be kept current. For general information, refer to Information Center: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r3s/index.jsp For the Server Firmware and HMC Code / Installation Wizard: Go to Recommended fixes at: http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/recommendedfixes and specify Server Firmware and HMC Wizard - The primary use of ECS is to download PTFs via the SNDPTFORD command. Use ECS SNDPTFORD command with Delivery Method (*ANY) to order PTFs. - Electronic Customer Support (ECS) applications support PTF media delivery to the country where the system placing the order resides. If you need to order IBM i operating system PTF media for a system in another country, contact your Software Service provider. - PTFs may be ordered through the Internet. For more information look at URL: http://www.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fixcentral/main/iseries/ - Single PTFs, Group PTFs and Cumulative PTF Packages ordered through Fix Central or using the SNDPTFORD command, are shipped priority 2. The delivery criteria for Single PTFs, Group PTFs and Cumulative PTF Package orders can be found at the following url: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/ssos/order_status - The following is a summary of the i 5.4 and i 5.4.5 information that is available. -----------------------------------------------------------------------: INFORMATION : PTF # :

G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N -------------------------------------This section contains general information concerning the installation and operation of i 5.4 and i 5.4.5. 9. 12 Jan 2010 Information APAR II14533 contains information about Transport Layer Security (TLS) Handshake Renegotiation vulnerability. 8. 06 Jan 2010 Some of the host names and IP addresses used to connect to IBM service have changed. If your system is not using the new host names and IP addresses, your system may no longer be able to connect to IBM service after February 1, 2010. Verify PTF SI34505 is applied to your system and follow the special instructions. PTF SI34505 is included in cumulative PTF package C9104540. 7. 06 Feb 2009 The DMIBMUPGR upgrade command may fail to complete when upgrading to iCluster 5.2 from earlier releases. Existing iCluster 5.2 installations may experience a duplicate key error if a large number of objects are being created and deleted continuously from a replication group. The fix for these problems are contained within iCluster 5.2 TFE1 fixpack. Obtain iCluster 5.2 TFE1 from Fix Central, install it and run the metadata adjustment program at your earliest convenience. 6. 11 Nov 2008 When a 9406-MMA MES adds one or more 5801 1/4-processor drawers to their server, even

though no edition feature is changed with this MES, the QPRCFEAT value will be changed as part of this upgrade to reflect a larger number of installed processors. The user should check with their software vendors for licensing and key implications. 5. 01 Nov 2007 When upgrading to i 5.4 or i 5.4.5 and have Independent Auxiliary Storage Pools (IASPs) configured, select to Keep Disk Configuration on the Prepare for install option at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/ scope/i5os/topic/rzahc/choosediskconfig. htm#choosediskconfig 4. 17 Aug 2006 Information APAR II14188 contains information about New Firmware and Software Requirements for processor upgrades (MES). 3. 29 Jun 2006 If upgrading from i 5.2 to i 5.4 or i.5.4, DO NOT use the option in the prepare for install menu to allocate License Internal Code space. Use the API that is documented in the Information Center for i 5.4 at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/ v5r4/topic/rzahc/allocatespacelic.htm#allocatespacelic Topic titled: Required: Allocating additional space for Licensed Internal Code. If using Virtual Media Install, verify the latest PTFs are installed. See information APAR II14131 for the latest PTFs required. 2. 09 May 2006 If you are installing or upgrading to i 5.4 or i 5.4.5 and using the iBase CD with label RSA, users may not be able to get the Operations Console directly connected. SRC A600 5008 may be issued, requiring users to get the iBase CD, RSB or later. 1. 07 Feb 2006 Information APAR II14131 contains information about required PTFs needed before upgrading to i 5.4 or i 5.4.5. http://www-912.ibm.com/n_dir/nas4apar.nsf/hinfoapars?
