Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * IBM Spectrum Control users upgrading to releases prior to    *
    * 5.2.12 with patches deployed in these locations:             *
    * /opt/IBM/TPC/lib and                                         *
    * /opt/IBM/TPC/wlp/usr/servers/deviceServer/resources/lib      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * When patches are present in these locations:                 *
    * /opt/IBM/TPC/lib and                                         *
    * /opt/IBM/TPC/wlp/usr/servers/deviceServer/resources/lib      *
    * prior to upgrading IBM Spectrum Control, the patches are not *
    * removed.                                                     *
