Special Instructions


********************************************************************
THE FOLLOWING ARE SUPERSEDED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE SUPERSEDED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SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF MF63680 :
=================================================

This MF63680 PTF will force a C-Pageable LIC compaction after the PTF
is applied. You must manually permanently apply this PTF and then
perform
another IPL so that it completes the compaction.

The suggested steps are:
1. Apply this PTF temporarily (requires an IPL to B side).
2. Permanently apply this PTF and verify it is permanently applied.
3. IPL again to the B side to complete the compaction processing.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF MF63363 :
=================================================

This PTF must be permanently applied.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF MF62298 :
=================================================

It is suggested that a subset of customers perform an additional B-side
IPL to activate the fixes in this PTF.  To verify if you need to
perform an additional IPL, please do these investigation steps.

1. Sign in to SST system service tools
2. Choose 1. Start a service tool
3. Choose 4. Display/Alter/Dump
4. Choose 1. Display/Alter storage
5. Choose  3. LIC module
6. Choose 1. Find LIC module by name
7. On the "Module name" field type #qsmdprm
8. On the "LIC Module Found", scroll down one screen.
9. Look for the " Data Address . . . :" field and see if the address is
FFFFFFFF3E xxxxxx.   If you see the FFFFFFFF3E, then you should perform
another IPL so that it completes the move of the module to a different
address.
