APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
IPL waits a long time at srcC6004057 after applying MF54706.

During the first IPL after loading MF54706, a SES microcode
download occurs (which may last up to 4 minutes per drawer). If
a large number of drawers exist the IPL may sit at this src for
an extended time.

VL1E00F003 and VL3700000E seem to be related to this SES
download.

CORRECTION FOR APAR MA42058 :
-----------------------------
A change will be made to our tasking to insure the IPL is not
blocked by the SES microcode downloads.


CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR MA42058 :
--------------------------------
None.


Activation Instructions


None.




Special Instructions


None.


Default Instructions

THIS IS A DELAYED PTF TO BE APPLIED AT IPL TIME.
