Application of this PTF may disable or render ineffective programs that
use system memory addresses not generated by the IBM translator,

interactive capacity to purchased levels.  This PTF may be a prerequisite
for future PTFs.  By applying this PTF you authorize and agree to the

APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-------------------------------------------------
Instances occur where IBM i NetServer response takes longer than
usual and eventually NetServer appears to lock up and mapped
drives are not accessible. When this happens, the QZLSFILET job
is in MTXW status. After a period of time the problem clears and
NetServer operates normally.

CORRECTION FOR APAR 'MA47234' :
-------------------------------
A timing window exists in the SMB2 Read and Write request
processors where a file reference may not be released if the
client session begins close processing while the operation is in
progress.  The dangling reference can cause the session close
processing to take a long time to complete.

IBM i NetServer has been changed to ensure file references are
released.  The PTF corrects the problem.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR 'MA47234' :
----------------------------------
None.

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR 'MA47236' :
-------------------------------------------------
Attempts to run certain application executable files that are
stored in IBM i NetServer shares will hang. Network activity
shows that the client is repeatedly attempting to read the same
range of data beyond the end of the executable file during the
hang.

CORRECTION FOR APAR 'MA47236' :
-------------------------------
IBM i NetServer follows Posix file system semantics that reading
past the end of file is not an error.  The read returns success
with zero bytes read.  The SMB2 protocol specification is
unclear that an error response is expected in this situation.
Samba servers handle the same condition by returning a
STATUS_END_OF_FILE error.

The IBM i NetServer SMB2 behavior has been changed to return
STATUS_END_OF_FILE if a client attempts to read beyond the end
of file.  This more closely matches the behavior of other SMB2
servers.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR 'MA47236' :
----------------------------------
None.


Activation Instructions

None.




Special Instructions

ENDTCPSVR *NETSVR before applying or removing the PTF.
STRTCPSVR *NETSVR after applying or removing the PTF.

********************************************************************
THE FOLLOWING ARE SUPERSEDED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE SUPERSEDED
PTF HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND ITS SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOLLOWED,
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FOLLOW THAT SPECIAL INSTRUCTION AGAIN.
********************************************************************

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF MF64938 :
=================================================

ENDTCPSVR *NETSVR before applying or removing the PTF.
STRTCPSVR *NETSVR after applying or removing the PTF.

If you have experienced corruption or loss of IBM i NetServer function,
an IPL of the system will be required to recover after applying the
PTF.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF MF64187 :
=================================================

ENDTCPSVR *NETSVR before applying or removing the PTF.
STRTCPSVR *NETSVR after applying or removing the PTF.

IBM i NetServer can be configured to disable the SMB1 protocol by using
the following command:

CALL QZLSMAINT PARM('40' '1' '0x100')

The configuration change takes effect immediately, and any existing
SMB1 connections to the server will fail.  It is recommended to make
the configuration change while NetServer is not active.


Use of the SMB1 protocol can be restored by calling the following
command, if needed:

CALL QZLSMAINT PARM('40' '2' '0x100')


Whenever the server is configured to enable or disable a version of the
SMB protocol, it may be necessary to reboot client PCs for the client
to begin using the new settings.


Default Instructions

THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
