IT11320: Updating UXSPi on Lenovo System x hardware using IBM Systems Director

 

APAR status

  • Closed as documentation error.

Error description

  • For new Lenovo System x hardware, there is a lack of
documentation in regards to updating UXSPi package via IBM
Systems Director Update Manager.
When installing the UXSPi update for the new System x hardware,
a user must select the Lenovo UXSPi package name that starts
with lnvgy_utl_ instead of the older hardware that belongs to
IBM UXSPi package and starts with ibm_utl_.
User can check Manufacturer information to see if the System x
hardware is Lenevo based or IBM based hardware. In IBM Systems
Director, System x hardware would show "Manufacturer" as "LNVO"
or "IBM" for Lenevo based System x hardware or IBM based System
x hardware upon checking the Manageable End-point Information of
the System x hardware.
Impact: - User fail to upgrade UXSPi package which starts with
prefix ibm_utl_ on Lenovo based System x hard-ware.

Local fix

  • There is no usage change that will avoid this issue.

Problem summary

  • User needs to use appropriate UXSPi package for updating the
system x hardware via IBM Systems Director (Update Manager). The
 Lenevo UXSPi package name is supposed to be start with the
prefix "lnvgy_utl_" for the Lenevo based System x hardware
whereas IBM UXSPi package is supposed to be start with the
prefix "ibm_utl_" for the IBM Based System x hardware.
The IBM Systems Director server Knowledge Center documentation
will be updated to include these information.
