Patch Level

This is a service PATCH based on certified service level 3.1.2.80
running on AS/400 V4R3 - V4R5.

This installable patch provides the updated file required to
bring the level of the server up to level 3.1.2.83

The AS/400 save file contains the QANRSERV object. The save file was
created using the AS/400 SAVOBJ command against the objects contained
in library QADSM.

Testing has focused on the corrections made for the following items.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 o SA94308  ANR8420E INITIALIZE SERVER ERROR AFTER UPGRADE

            Customer will perform upgrade and attempt to start TSM server.
            The following errors will be generated in their message log:
            ANR7808W QTARDCAP API returned exception CPF9814.
            ANR8420E INITIALIZE SERVER: An I/O error occurred while
            accessing TAP03.
            ANR9999D DSMSERV/QCSRC/MMS(1807):Unable to load MMS
            configuration.
            The Server will fail to initialize due to old or left over
            device information that needed to be deleted from the device
            table. The server will not initialize or start so the customer
            needs to use the new executible which will allow the server to
            start, thus allowing the deletion of the necessary device class,
            drive, and library information.

 o SA95069  ANR8341I ISSUED WHEN VOLUME NOT FULL IS ENCOUNTERED

            EOT is encountered (trace indicates CPF5046). The transation is
            rolled back. However, additional volumes are not abailable
            (insufficient space message). TSM cannot proceed with marking
            volume as full and does not mark volume as READONLY.

 o SA95275  TSM SERVER CRASH IF IMPROPERLY FORMATTED DATA IS RECEIVED
            FROM THE HTTPPORT.

            The TSM Server may crash if improperly formatted data is
            received from the HTTPPORT with the server running the HTTP
            communication method.

            CIRCUMVENTION:
            Halt the TSM server and disable the HTTP communication method
            by removing "COMMMETHOD HTTP" from the server options file or
            by commenting out the line by putting an asterisk (*) at the
            beginning of the line.  After disabling the HTTP communication
            method, restart the server and use the server console or command
            line administrative client for administering the TSM server.

---------------------------- INSTALLATION ------------------------------

The following are the steps necessary to put this version of the object into
a usable position, but still save the original object to be used again when
necessary.

Please use the following steps to install the PATCH code:

  1) Halt the TSM server

  2) Rename objects:

     WRKOBJ OBJ(QADSM/QANRSERV) OBJTYPE(*PGM)
     - Rename the object QANRSERV to something else ie. QANRSERV.O

  3) Restore objects:

     RSTOBJ OBJ(QANRSERV) SAVLIB(QADSM) DEV(*SAVF) OBJTYPE(*PGM)
            SAVF(test_library/SA95275)

  4) Verify authority of objects:

     WRKOBJ OBJ(QADSM/QANRSERV) OBJTYPE(*PGM)
       - Take option 5 to Display Authority
       - If the owner of QANRSERV is NOT QADSM
         CHGOBJOWN OBJ(QADSM/QANRSERV) OBJTYPE(*PGM) NEWOWN(QADSM)

  5) Start the TSM server


When receive next official PTF:

  1) Halt the TSM server

  2) Remove patch parts from QADSM and rename original parts:

     WRKOBJ OBJ(QADSM/QANRSERV*) OBJTYPE(*PGM)
       - Delete patch version of QANRSERV from library QADSM
       - Rename the object QANRSERV.O to QANRSERV

  3) Install PTF as usual.



To FTP this PATCH code to your AS/400:

  From a PC/Workstation with access to the Internet:
    1) FTP to IBM system and logon on as user anonymous (follow prompts)
       ftp  ftp.software.ibm.com
       anonymous
       enter password (follow prompt)

    2) Put FTP session into binary mode
       bin

    3) Go to patches directory
       cd /storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/server/AS400

    4) Obtain file SA95275.savf
       get SA95275.savf

  On AS/400:
    1) Create savefile in library of your choice to receive SAVF
       CRTSAVF FILE(test_library/SA95275)


  If PC/Workstation used earlier does not have connectivity to
  AS/400, use some method to get the file on to a machine that
  can reach the AS/400.

  From PC/Workstation with FTP access to AS/400:
    1) Ftp to the AS/400 and logon
       ftp xx.xx.xx.xx (your AS/400 IP address)
       user            (user must have authority to files in test_library)
       password

    2) Put FTP session into binary mode
       bin

    3) Place file on AS/400
       put SA95275.savf  test_library/SA95275 (replace

    4) Quit to terminate FTP
