35. 30 May 2019 DEFECTIVE PTF: MH01815 for IBM i 7.2
LICENSED PROGRAM = 5733909
APAR NUMBER: MB04215
USERS AFFECTED: All IBM i operating system users with the
following machine types/models: 900822L
900922A 900941A 900942A 922322H 922342H
REASON DEFECTIVE: MH01815 upgrades the IBM i server to
FW930.00. An issue was found that causes
resource information to be changed,
specifically the location codes of some
resources. For IBM i standalone servers,
the issue does not affect OS operations.
RECOMMENDATION: If you have already loaded AND applied
MH01815, standalone (non HMC-managed IBM
i) systems will have resource location
changes following the apply IPL, and will
generate new resources for internal use.
This change will result in non-reporting
hardware in Hardware Service Manager.
While the non-reporting resources are
effectively cosmetic, the removal of the
non-reporting hardware should be done
after the fixing PTF MH01816 (or its
supersede), is applied.
You can display the currently applied
firmware using command DSPFMWSTS If the
*ACTIVE firmware level is "VL930_035
MH01815", then the firmware with the issue
is applied.
Otherwise, perform the following IBM i
command(s):
DSPPTF LICPGM(5733909) SELECT(MH01815)
RLS(V1R1M0). If the PTF is not found, no
further action is required.
If the PTF is in "Save file only" or "Not
applied" status, issue the following
command to delete it:
DLTPTF PTF(MH01815) LICPGM(5733909)
RLS(V1R1M0)
MH01816 will upgrade the server to a FW930
level without the location code changes.
If you determine MH01815 is applied, there
is no need to remove it. You only need to
load and apply MH01816. After applying
MH01816, and performing an IPL of the IBM
i, you should remove the unneeded
resources using the following steps:
1. STRSST and sign in
2. Option 1. Start a service tool
3. Option 7. Hardware service manager
4. Option 4. Failed and non-reporting
hardware resources
5. Put a '4' (Remove) against the BCxx
(Fabric I/O Bridge) resource that is
listed, and then press Enter to remove,
and Enter again to confirm the removal.

SI59417 for IBM i 7.2
LICENSED PROGRAM = 5770SS1
APAR NUMBER: SE63926
USERS AFFECTED: All IBM i operating system users.
REASON DEFECTIVE: If you use Object type or Object attribute
to subset the object list in WRKOBJPDM,
the list will show the correct type or
attribute objects. However, if you proceed
to add in a "Position to" request and
select any object on the list to be
deleted (Option 4), the delete
confirmation panel will show a different
object instead. If you continue to press
Enter to execute, PDM will physically
delete the object on the confirmation
panel and not the object you intended to
delete. The same scenario also occurs with
Copy (Option 3), Rename (Option 7), and
Move (Option 11) which will apply their
specific action on the incorrect object.
RECOMMENDATION: Apply PTF SI59479 for i 7.2.
SI59479 is included in cumulative PTF

13. 02 Feb 2016 DEFECTIVE PTF: SI52944 for IBM i 7.2
SI57182 for IBM i 7.2
SI58068 for IBM i 7.2
SI58138 for IBM i 7.2
LICENSED PROGRAM = 5770SS1
APAR NUMBER: SE63673
USERS AFFECTED: All IBM i operating system users who do not
already have PTF SI58138 applied.
REASON DEFECTIVE: If these PTFs are applied with DELAYED(*NO)
or DELAYED(*IMMDLY) while the system is
not in restricted state, there is a PTF
timing issue that can cause program
QDMCOPEN to be corrupted. Any attempt to
open a file or device will then fail with
messages CPF4182, CPF9845, or MCH4404.
Users will not be able to sign on. If this
occurs, the PTF cannot be removed because
RMVPTF is dependent on QDMCOPEN and fails
with the same error; the operating system
must be slip installed to recover.
RECOMMENDATION: If you already have PTF SI58138 or PTF
SI59096 applied, nothing needs to be done.
Otherwise, install the fixing PTF SI59096
for i 7.2 instead. If you plan to install
cumulative package C5310720, be sure to
fully apply the fixing PTF SI59096 before
loading any PTFs from the C5310720 media.
SI59096 is included in cumulative PTF

LICENSED PROGRAM = 5770999
APAR NUMBER: MA45290
USERS AFFECTED: All IBM i operating system users.
REASON DEFECTIVE: If a system adapter (IOP/IOA) with attached
tape resources is re-IPLed, the adapter
may FUNCTION CHECK, and not all attached
resources will report back into the
system. Once this error occurs, a
partition IPL may be required before the
adapter can be used.
RECOMMENDATION: Apply the fixing LIC PTF MF61391 for i 7.2.
MF61391 is included in cumulative PTF
package C6127720.
11. 31 Dec 2015 DEFECTIVE PTF: MF60931 for IBM i 7.2
LICENSED PROGRAM = 5770999
APAR NUMBER: MA45160
USERS AFFECTED: All IBM i operating system users previously
encountering message CPI0909 and message
CPI0902 during IPLs.
REASON DEFECTIVE: The PTF contained algorithms to calculate
the minimum amount of main store necessary
for the machine pool. On certain systems,
the minimum amount of main store
calculated was too small. This resulted in
a system hang during the IPL because the
machine pool was out of memory.
RECOMMENDATION: Apply the fixing LIC PTF MF61176 for i 7.2.
MF61176 is included in cumulative PTF
package C6127720.

APAR NUMBER: SE63005
USERS AFFECTED: All IBM i 7.2 operating system users with
mirrored load sources.
REASON DEFECTIVE: The system may hang with C6003962 during
IPL processing if the load source is
mirrored and one mirror subunit is
suspended or failed.
RECOMMENDATION: If mirrored load sources are present,
ensure that mirroring is Active prior to
installing PTF MF99103. Apply the fixing
PTF SI58108 to IBM i 7.2. Note that PTF
SI58108 is a distribution requisite of PTF
MF99103. If you have applied PTF MF99103
to your system, you should apply the

APAR NUMBER: SE62444
USERS AFFECTED: Any IBM i operating system user with long-
-running DRDA connections where the
application server (AS) side has the
defective PTF applied.
REASON DEFECTIVE: The failure is limited to the use of the
SET or VALUES INTO SQL statements and only
appears in QRWTSRVR jobs being used by
long-running DRDA connections. The most
common symptoms are an MCH3601 message to
service programs QSQRUN3 or QSQRUN2, or an
MCH0601 message. The MCH0601 message will
reference the space QSQCURSORS.
RECOMMENDATION: Apply the fixing PTF SI57498 for i 7.2.

USERS AFFECTED: All IBM i operating system users with the
following machine types/models: 8284-22A,
8286-41A, 8286-42A.
REASON DEFECTIVE: IBM i stand-alone systems (non-HMC managed)
upgrading from FW810 to FW830 firmware
will encounter a long delay (up to 2
hours). During this long upgrade, SRC
D133C002 is posted on the operator panel.
NO FURTHER ACTION is required during this
time period.
To avoid the extended delay during firmware
upgrade please install MH01534 (FW810.31),
upon availability, and IPL the system

This notice does NOT apply to systems that
are HMC managed, currently on FW830 or not
using IBM i.
RECOMMENDATION: If you have already loaded AND applied
MH01533, no further action is required.
(This can be verified through DSPFMWSTS by
checking the *ACTIVE firmware level. If
"SV830_048 MH01533" is active, no further
action is required.)
Otherwise, perform the following IBM i
command(s): DSPPTF LICPGM(5733908)
SELECT(MH01533) RLS(V1R1M0)
If the PTF is not found, no further action
is required.
If the PTF is in "Save file only" status,
issue the following command to delete it:
DLTPTF PTF(MH01533) LICPGM(5733908)
RLS(V1R1M0)
If the PTF is in "Not applied" or
"Temporarily applied" status, issue the
following commands to remove and delete
it: RMVPTF LICPGM(5733908) RLS(V1R1M0)
SELECT(MH01533) RMV(*PERM)
DLTPTF PTF(MH01533) LICPGM(5733908)
RLS(V1R1M0)
Once the issue with MH01533 has been
resolved, a future firmware level will be
available and listed in Fix Central.
Apply the fixing PTF MH01534 for Firmware
level FW810.31 before upgrading to FW830
firmware, PTF MH01541, or its

circumstances, the program will get an
error and use /qibm as the IFS structure,
resulting in the removal of the contents
of that directory. It should be noted that
only IBM Licensed Program Products use the
/qibm directory, and there is no exposure
to client data residing in the IFS in
other directories.
To avoid the unlikely occurrence of the
SYSSNAP collection clearing data in the
/qibm directory, use the OUTPUT parameter
to store the output in a physical file
(*PF) rather than the IFS (*IFS).
In the unlikely event that this problem is
encountered, you should call
1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378) to open a
PMR with the IBM i Software Support team
to determine the appropriate recovery
option.
RECOMMENDATION: Apply the fixing PTF SI55314 for i 7.2.
SI55314 is included in cumulative PTF
package C5135720.
4. 02 Jul 2014 DEFECTIVE PTF: MF58655 for IBM i 7.2
MF58694 for IBM i 7.2
LICENSED PROGRAM = 5770999
APAR NUMBER: MA43887
USERS AFFECTED: All IBM i operating system users who use
Independent Auxiliary Storage Pools
(IASPS) with geographic mirroring.
REASON DEFECTIVE: Target system may crash when resuming
geographic mirroring.
RECOMMENDATION: Apply the fixing LIC PTF MF58784 for i 7.2.
MF58784 is included in cumulative PTF
package C4276720.
3. 22 May 2014 DEFECTIVE PTF: MF58573 for IBM i 7.2
LICENSED PROGRAM = 5770999
APAR NUMBER: MA43784
USERS AFFECTED: All IBM i 7.2 operating system users.
REASON DEFECTIVE: An optical media formatted with file
systems other than UDF will cause HFS and
IFS file read operations to fail with
message OPT1815. This may prevent optical
devices from being used to install program
fixes.
RECOMMENDATION: Apply the fixing LIC PTF MF58615 for i 7.2.
MF58615 is included in cumulative PTF
package C4276720.
2. 22 May 2014 DEFECTIVE PTF: MF58351 for IBM i 7.2
LICENSED PROGRAM = 5770999
APAR NUMBER: MA43763
USERS AFFECTED: All IBM i 7.2 operating system users with
defective LIC PTF MF58351 applied.
REASON DEFECTIVE: Unloading a virtual optical volume using
LODIMGCLGE OPTION(*UNLOAD) or LODIMGCLG
OPTION(*UNLOAD) can leave a mutex lock on
the IFS file containing the virtual
volume. Subsequent operations may hang
indefinitely. The hang may include
PWRDWNSYS, and the recovery may require an
HMC immediate power down to recover.
RECOMMENDATION: Apply the fixing LIC PTF MF58615 for i 7.2.
MF58573 is included in cumulative PTF
package C4276720.
