We load all of our ptf's midweek using Fix Central ftp download's to 
Virtual optical drive.  We set them for delayed apply.   Granted, 
sometimes just the act of loading ptf's will automatically apply some 
other ptf's, although you wouldn't think so.  Then we do our RCLSTG 
followed by our full system save.  Then we do the IPL to apply the ptf's. 
Preloading the PTF's reduces the amount of downtime quite a bit, and, we 
no longer run into issues with coworkers helping out and having issues 
with hitting the continue for the next CD before the CD is ready and 
numerous other issues we used to have.

Who backs up thier system before appling PTFs?

We do a full system save before applying in Production.

Ahh, defective PTFs.... When I was a newbie I crashed our failover iSeries 


applying some PTFs. This was back in December of 2000 when I had been 
fresh out of college in May and working with the AS/400s. We were pretty 
religious about scouring through the defective PTF lists back then. I had 
spreadsheets setup, etc.... Pretty cool little system. Anyway, about a 
week prior we loaded the PTFs on our production box (why in the world my 
bosses did that instead of loading on failover first I still don't know!). 


We had some issues and found that one of the PTFs on that latest CUME was 
bad. So, my boss told me to make sure I excluded it when doing the 
failover PTFs. I still swear to this day that I double-checked to make 
sure it wasn't loaded, but when I was bringing the box back up - bam!

Couldn't even get to the A side to remove it! Had to slip the LIC and 
reinstall completely!!! Fun experience for me...lol

All of that is true.  However I still don't think it justifies doing the 
APYPTF *ALL *PERM.  Because then your A side will be equal to your B side 
and then you would no longer have a fall back position.  If a PTF is 
superceeded it will automatically be applied permanent and that should 
automatically update your A side, and thus your fallback position.

Re: perm apply ptf's






My understanding is, there are two layers of the OS on the iSeries running
on what is referred to as the A side and B side of the system.  Most
iSeries are typically IPL'd from the B side of the OS.  When the OS is
loaded, carbon copies exist on the A side and B side. When PTF's are
loaded, they are loaded to the B side, system runs from the B side and
hopefully all is well.  If something goes drastically wrong with the PTF's
loaded on the B side, the system can be IPL'd from the A side and run as
before the PTF's were loaded.  If the PTF's are good, before loading the
latest CUM or Group, permanently applying the PTF's will load them onto 
the
A side, new PTF's are now loaded on the B side.  So you always have a
fallback position by IPLing from the A side.

If I have any of this wrong -- someone else please chime in...

Re: perm apply ptf's






It's a good rule of thumb to permanently apply ptf's before upgrading to a
new release or loading a new cum/group package.  Other than that, freeing
DASD would be the only other reason I would see to permanently apply
ptf's.

And, Domino has done strange things in the past, like having you reload
one extended product after having upgraded your version of Domino.  I
suspect they do something like having a different version of some program
or service program out there based on whether or not you have that
extended product.  For example, let's say that QINNINSTS was a program.
Then if you had a certain extended product (Sametime, Quickplace, LEI,
Domino Fax for iSeries, etc) they might replace that program with a
modified version of their own.

The only time 'traditional' os/400 programs have ever replaced a ptf was
when a test version of that ptf was released to a few restricted customers
for testing.  Then a bug was reported and they modified it, did their
internal regression testing, and then released it again to the test crowd.
 But this test crowd is aware that it is a test ptf and they should not
permanently apply it.  (And it really vexes IBM when you do.  Trust me,
they don't like regening a ptf as a new number just because you oopsed.
They'll do it, because you are the customer and deserve their service, but
you do have to let them vent as your part of the partnership.)

Re: perm apply ptf's






We never apply permanently either unless we are upgrading OS releases.

What is up with updating the PTF?!? That's the most insane thing I've
heard of in a while. I wonder how many other times this has happened?

subject: Re: perm apply ptf's

Bob,

I believe you are pretty much right with that. However, I think that the A 


side is meant only for permanently applied MF (hardware) PTFs and that 
software PTFs would be the same as on the B side.

OK, I think I was right as I found this to confirm...and the statement 
that "when the operating system is upgraded to a new release, the A side 
and B side match." leads me to think that it may be unnecessary to perm 
apply the PTFs before installing a new release. Although, it is in IBM's 
documentation that you should do this.

http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/3cdf5d853ca698198625680b00020369/6e3958aef5fb1646862565c2007d201d?OpenDocument



Question:

What is the difference between the A side and the B side?

Answer:

A/B side concepts are relative to LIC and not to OS/400 or LPP PTFs. When 
a new system is shipped or when the operating system is upgraded to a new 
release, the A side and B side match. When LIC PTFs are temporarily 
applied, they are applied to the B side. If you have temporarily applied 
LIC PTFs and you are running on the A side, you will not be running with 
the PTFs.

Previous to V3R1M0, you had to be running on the A side to apply PTFs to 
the B side. When GO PTF, Option 8 is used to apply LIC PTFs, the system 
determines if you are running on the A side or the B side. If you are 
running on the A side, the LIC PTFs are applied immediately. The system is 


IPLed to the B side to apply the rest of the PTFs. If you are running on 
the B side, the system does a partial IPL to the A side to apply the LIC 
PTFs. The system is IPLed back to the B side to apply the rest of the 
PTFs.

Starting in V3R1M0, immediate LIC PTFs can be applied to the B side while 
you are running on the B side. If you are on the B side and you use GO PTF
, Option 8 Automatic IPL Y to apply immediate LIC PTFs. The system IPLs to 


the B side to apply the PTFs. The system does not IPL to the A side. 
Delayed LIC PTFs in V3R1 and beyond function the same way all LIC PTFs 
functioned before V3R1M0. Permanently applying LIC PTFs puts the PTF on 
the A side. Once the PTF is permanently applied, it cannot be removed.
