In general, it is recommended to verify all vtd_exec's are installed in their latest available version, as applicable for given machine type and model (TS7760 3957-VEC, TS7770 3957-VED, TS7770 3948-VED, TS7780 3948-VEF) and active code level.
Refer to TS7700 Code Update Recommendation for code level information: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6334607
Take advantage of vtd_exec reporting through IBM Call Home Connect Cloud: https://www.ibm.com/support/call-home-connect/cloud/
Recommended Action
Update TS7700 with appropriate vtd_exec as applicable, preferably leveraging Remote Code Load https://tape.ibmrcl.enterpriseappointments.com/v2/
Note: Contrary to prior guidance, improvements provided through vtd_exec.900 and vtd_exec.901 cannot be installed by a client operator through the TS7700 Web User Interface (Management Interface, MI) at this time. vtd_exec.903 can now be installed by clients running 8.53.1.21 or greater and vtd_exec.904 can now be installed by clients running 8.54.1.27 or greater code levels.
