Displaying Licensed Internal Code fixes

You can use the system service tools, dedicated service tools, or the HMC to determine the Licensed Internal Code fixes that are on the system.

To determine the operating system fixes that are on the system, see Displaying IBM i PTFs.

Use the system service tools (SST) to display Licensed Internal Code (server firmware) fixes. If it is not available, use the dedicated service tools.
Note: You can also use the HMC if your system is managed by an HMC.

Using SST to determine the Licensed Internal Code level

  1. Type STRSST at a command line and press Enter. The Start Service Tools (SST) Sign On display is displayed.
  2. Type in your user ID and password and press Enter.
  3. Select Start a Service Tool.
  4. Select Display/Alter/Dump.
  5. Select Display/Alter storage.
  6. Select Licensed Internal Code (LIC) data.
  7. Scroll down and select Advanced analysis.
  8. Scroll down and select FLASHLEVELS.
  9. When the Specify Advanced Analysis Options screen is displayed, press Enter.

    The PTFs for server firmware updates are displayed with the Licensed Internal Code product (5722999) and begin with the prefix MH. For example, MHnnnnn where nnnnn is the number associated to the specific server firmware fix.

Note: During the normal shut down of the service partition, the IBM® i operating system verifies that the firmware level on the service processor is at the same level as the IBM i operating system firmware load source (PTF level). If they are different, then the firmware is updated. This process is known as LS Flash Synching (Firmware Load Source to Fsp Flash synchronization).

  2. Select the Work with Licensed Internal Code option from the Use Dedicated Service Tools (DST) display.
  3. Select the Display Licensed Internal Code option.
  4. Select the Fix information option.
  5. Select F4 (Prompt) to display a list of Licensed Internal Code fixes. The status information is displayed (pending, or applied permanently or temporarily).
