Abstract
REQUIRED PTFS FOR UPGRADING TO V7R1MX
Error Description
The following PTFs for V5R4Mx and V6R1Mx are
required to upgrade to version 7 release 1 modification x,
where x is the modification number of licensed internal code
only. The modification number for IBM i will always be 0,
which may not match the modification level of licensed
internal code. Please review the Preventative Service Planning
(PSP) entries for software installation to determine other PTFs
you may need.

--------------------------------------------------------------
For upgrading using virtual media, from virtual optical storage
on a Network File System (NFS) server, to Version 7 Release 1,
the following PTFs must be applied to the system being
installed:
If you are upgrading from V6R1M0 - SI39400

If you are upgrading from V7R1M0 - SI45988
The following PTFs must be applied on the NFS server containing

If your image server is at V6R1M0 - SI39216
- SI39390
- SI35189
- SI35747
- MF47284
- MF47285
- MF46292
If your image server is at V6R1M1 - SI39216

- SI35186
- SI35189
- SI35747
If your image server is at V7R1Mx - SI39238
- SI45600

storage using the Network File System including client ethernet
adapter considerations, please refer to the following PDF

--------------------------------------------------------------
IBM System Storage DS8100 and DS8300 actions
IBM System Storage? DS8100? and DS8300? systems that are not
at a current version of firmware will experience problems when
Collection Services collects the new external storage metrics
(*EXTSTG category data) that have been added in the 7.1
release. These problems include hardware failure notifications,
loss of access to data, and DS8100/DS8300 system crashes.
To prevent these problems you need to install a level of
DS8100/DS8300 microcode that fixes these problems prior to
installing IBM i 7.1.
-- The code fix is available in Release 4.3x Bundle
64.30.99.0 or higher.
-- The code fix is available in Release 4.2x Bundle
64.21.29.0.
For more information refer to the following link titled
"Potential loss of access to data due to Link Statistics
commands":
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S1003640
--------------------------------------------------------------
If upgrading to Version 7 Release 1 using IBM supplied media,
using the automatic install process, and changing your primary
language, the following PTFs must be applied to allow you to
set the install language:
If you are upgrading from V5R4Mx - SI38038
If you are upgrading from V6R1Mx - SI38035
After you have loaded and applied either of these PTFs, type
the following:
CALL QINSTLNG ('29xx')
NOTE: Substitute your target install language for 29xx.
--------------------------------------------------------------
If using the Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) process along
with image catalogs to upgrade to Version 7 Release 1, there
is a new API called QVOIFIMG that will allow you to add all
files within the image catalog directory to the image catalog
automatically. This API has been provided as PTFs in V5R4,
V6R1 and V7R1.
The PTF numbers are:
V5R4Mx - SI40603
V6R1Mx - SI40473
V7R1Mx - SI40971
--------------------------------------------------------------
The following database PTFs are needed to avoid a database
cross reference file error condition during the upgrade to 7.1:
If you are upgrading from V5R4Mx - SI39326
SI47314
SI47447
SI48825
If you are upgrading from V6R1Mx - SI45174
SI47823
SI47825
If these ptfs are not applied to the previous release prior to
the upgrade, a RCLSTG SELECT(*DBXREF) may be required following
the install of the operating system in order to successfully
install several products that are dependent on the data in the
cross reference files.
For V6R1Mx you also need to take the
following actions AFTER you have applied
ptfs (application of database PTFs can
recreate these views):
*
DLTF QSYS2/USER_STG
DLTF SYSIBMADM/USER_STG
*
Failure to do so, will result in having
to run RCLSTG SELECT(*DBXREF) to
repopulate cross reference column level
information following the upgrade to
7.1.
--------------------------------------------------------------
If Upgrading from Version 5, release 4 and 5722DG1 is currently
installed, it is recommended that the HTTP PTF Group level 21
or higher (SF99114) or SI36402 or it's supersede be applied
prior to the system release upgrade. This corrects a problem
where the i5OSjaas.jar files are not consistent between V5R4 and
V7R1.
--------------------------------------------------------------
If upgrading from R540/R545 and the system is an i5 that
is OS Managed for Firmware, prior to upgrading, SF240_332
or later must be either Permanently Applied or Superseded.
If Superseded, the Superseding PTF must be Permanently
Applied.

Firmware is currently on the system and how to upgrade it
properly, please refer to the following URL:
