I'm not sure I'm in the "Don't worry about the 'Not Installed'" category, since that usually means PTFs are missing. Ordinarily just re-applying the cumulative will fix that but it's not something I like to leave for very long. You will never know if everything is working as it should without all of the PTFs installed. Installing a new LPP is one way to get that condition, but there are other ways too, and I don't like the untidiness of leaving them uninstalled.

Larry's correct about read the cover letter for TR6, there is a PTF for the double IPL's but to be safe I'd plan on watching this one. Also it's going to take Larry's "some minutes" (meaning lots) to install. Plan and extra couple of hours.

Charles,

You WERE Joking that the system is 3 years and 5 TRs behind on PTFs and
you think you're going to avoid a double IPL?????

Of course it's going to work, this IS IBM i after all but you will be
doing at least two IPLs here. Read the cover letter for TR6 as you may
need a special PTF to avoid having to manually IPL multiple times. (I
can't recall when that dude came out.)

Don't worry about the "Not Installed" as that simply indicates that new
LPPs (Licensed Program Products) have been installed since that CUME was
installed on this machine.
