<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>
