Activation Instructions


None.




Special Instructions


After the fix has been applied, follow the steps below to update the
firmware used by 2CEC, 58FA, 58FB, and 2CF3 Ethernet adapters:

1) Vary off all Ethernet line descriptions that are configured with a
resource name associated with a 2CEC, 58FA, 58FB or 2CF3 Ethernet
adapter. The WRKHDWRSC *CMN command can be used to show the resource
names associated with 2CEC, 58FA, 58FB or 2CF3 Ethernet adapters.

2) For each 2CEC, 58FA, 58FB or 2CF3 adapter on the system, vary on an
Ethernet line description that is configured with a resource name
associated with the adapter, specifying RESET(*YES) on the VRYCFG
command. For example, VRYCFG CFGOBJ(ETHLINE) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STATUS(*ON)
RESET(*YES).

After one Ethernet line on each 2CEC, 58FA, 58FB, or 2CF3 adapter on
the system has been varied on successfully using the RESET(*YES)
parameter, the firmware for the adapter has been updated and any
other Ethernet line descriptions configured with resource names
associated with those adapters can be varied on normally, without
using the RESET(*YES) parameter.


Default Instructions

THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
