<h1 class="topictitle1">Installing the PTFs required for Linux integration support</h1>
<div><p>This topic discusses the required PTFs for installing integrated Linux<sup>®</sup> support.</p>
<div class="p"><p>Before you attempt to install Linux integration support on an Integrated xSeries<sup>®</sup> Server
or Integrated xSeries Adapter
server, you should ensure that all the PTFs listed on the following Web site
are installed on your iSeries™ server:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/integratedxseries/ptfs.html" target="_blank">http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/integratedxseries/ptfs.html</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside information center" /></p>
<p>Most problems
that arise during and after installation are due to the fact that required
PTFs have not been installed. </p>
<p>PTFs fall into two categories:</p>
<ul><li>Cumulative and group PTFs</li>
<li>Individual PTFs</li>
</ul>

<div><div class="section"><p>Cumulative PTF packages contain code updates for most of the iSeries Licensed
Program Products including 5722-SS1 option 29 and 5722-LSV, which contain
the Linux integration
support code. They are made available on a regular basis. As the name implies,
they are cumulative in that each package contains all PTFs supplied with previous
packages for a particular <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> release.
Group PTFs are very similar to cumulative PTFs, but only contain PTFs for
a particular program product or set of related products. </p>
<p>You should
order the latest cumulative package well in advance so that you can install
it at least a week before you plan to install Linux.</p>
<p>To determine the latest cumulative
PTF level installed on your iSeries, complete the following steps:</p>
</div>
<div class="p"><span>Type <kbd class="userinput">DSPPTF LICPGM(5722999)</kbd>, the Display
PTF command.</span> This command displays a list of PTFs for the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> Systems Licensed Internal
Code (SLIC). The cumulative PTF package numbers are at the top.</div>
<div class="section"><p>The top-most number (for example, TL03364) is the most current
CUM, and 03364 is the date of release of the package, that is, day 364 of
2003 in the example. </p>
<p>Take note of the Status and IPL Action. The Status
should be either Temporarily applied or Permanently applied. If the IPL Action
is shown as anything other than None, enter <kbd class="userinput">5</kbd> next
to the PTF to determine if an IPL of the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> partition
or some other action is required. Note that cumulative PTFs require a restart
(IPL) of the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> partition. </p>
<p>You
can determine how far behind you are with your cumulative updates by comparing
the TLxxxxx number with the latest CUM listed on the following Web site: </p>

<div><div class="section"><p>There might be PTFs available specifically for the iSeries Linux integration
environment that have not yet been included in a cumulative PTF package. Linux integration
support code fixes can be included in PTFs for iSeries Licensed Program products including:</p>
<ul><li>5722-999: System Licensed Internal Code</li>
<li>5722-SS1: <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span></li>
<li>5722-LSV: IBM i5/OS Integration for Linux on xSeries</li>

<p>A list of all available PTFs not included in the latest cumulative
PTF package can be found on the integrated xSeries solutions Web site at: </p>

<p>You must
install all individual PTFs listed for your release that are listed on this
Web site. To determine if the listed PTFs are already installed on your system,
use one of the following commands:</p>
</div>

</ul>
<div class="section"><p>MFxxxxx PTFs often require a restart (IPL) of the hosting <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> partition, while SIxxxxx PTFs
rarely do. If you need assistance applying PTFs, go to the Information Center

<p>Updates to the integration code
running on Linux are
called service packs, and are provided in the form of PTFs to 5722-LSV. A Linux utility
is used to download the integration service pack to the Linux server.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Do
not confuse iSeries integration
service packs with service packages for the Linux distributions. The integration service
packs only address issues in the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> Linux support
code, whereas distribution service packs address issues in Linux.</div>
