Loading Latest R710 Cumulative Without Slipping LIC if System Does Not Have MF99008 or Higher Applied

Resolving The Problem

Special instructions for Cumulative package C5142710 and higher include the following statement:

1. SI46137 and SI43588 (or later supersedes) must be temporarily or permanently applied to the system.

If the status of either of these fixes is Superseded, you should ensure that the supersede is temporarily or permanently applied to the system. If the supersede is 'Not applied' or 'Save file only' to the system, the supersede should be removed, and SI46137 downloaded and applied. If these are not applied to the system, the first step is to download and apply these. SI46137 should be the one ordered and applied (not the latest supersede) to prevent a later TR from being loaded onto the system.

DSPPTF LICPGM(5770SS1) SELECT(SI46137)
DSPPTF LICPGM(5770SS1) SELECT(SI43588)



2.	Permanently apply all LIC (5770999) fixes. This can be done immediately when the system is running on the B side using the following command: APYPTF LICPGM(5770999) SELECT(*ALL) APY(*PERM) DELAYED(*NO) Note: This step should be done prior to loading the PTFs from the cumulative or groups.
3.	Are PTFs SI50923 & SI50924 or later supersedes installed on the system? If the system is at cume level 14143 or later, these should be on the system. DSPPTF LICPGM(5770SS1) SELECT(SI50923) DSPPTF LICPGM(5770SS1) SELECT(SI50924) If these PTFs are not found on the system, download them along with their requisites and apply them before continuing with the cume. These PTFs help prevent running into a timing issue during the IPL to apply PTFs which can result in an SRCB90037FF and having to SLIP OS to recover.
4.	If MF99010 or MF99011 is not found on the system, continue with step 5. NOTE: If MF99010 or MF99011 is already loaded onto the system (Not applied status), check if PTF MF61435 is applied to the system. DSPPTF LICPGM(5770999) SELECT(MF61435) If MF61435 is not applied or not found on the system, then the recommendation is to slip LIC and do not continue with these instructions. Without this fix being temporarily or permanently applied, there is a potential for the system to crash when removing or unmarking PTFs. See NOTE 1 . If MF61435 is temp or perm applied to the system, first unmark PTFs, and then remove MF99010 or MF99011: APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL) SELECT(*ALL) APY(*TEMP) DELAYED(*YES) IPLAPY(*NO) APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL) SELECT(*ALL) APY(*PERM) DELAYED(*YES) IPLAPY(*NO) RMVPTF LICPGM(5770999) SELECT(MF99010) RMV(*PERM) DELAYED(*NO) RMVDEP(*YES)      Note: If MF99011 was loaded, specify MF99011 in the above command rather than MF99010.
5.	Download MF99009.
6.	Load and mark MF99009: LODPTF LICPGM(5770999) SELECT(MF99009) APYPTF LICPGM(5770999) SELECT(MF99009) APY(*TEMP)  DELAYED(*YES)  APYREQ(*YES)  Note: As long as MF99009 and its requisites are the only PTFs in savf only status on the system, you can use the following to load and mark MF99009 and its requisites to the system: GO PTF and take option 8. Then specify *SERVICE for the device. If you do not wish to IPL immediately, also specify Automatic IPL = N.
7.	IPL to temporarily apply MF99009.
8.	Permanently apply  MF99009: APYPTF LICPGM(5770999) SELECT(MF99009) APY(*PERM)  DELAYED(*NO) APYREQ(*YES)
9.	Continue with installing the latest cumulative PTFs and groups. Review the cumulative instructions and follow any special instructions.
