I just applied the latest Group/HIPER on a 720 without a problem.

Thanks,

Hello all,

Sorry, long post ...

maybe some guru can help here, I am lost:

installed V5R2 on a brand new 810
had some minor glitches on the HSL link between the
to boxes this machine has, so we called IBM
They let us load the newest CUM-PTF C3077520,
HIPER-group and DB Group PTFs and everything went
fine until the HIPER (level 53, I think) was loaded and we
left for the night for the system to ipl and apply the PTFs. Next
morning we had an SRC B6000901 and no system. We had to manually do an
IPL from the A-side, system comes up with several LIC-PTfs in status
"Not applied" and IPL action "yes". IBM had us order MF30470 to solve
the SRC on IPL I tried to load and apply that PTF and get a LINK/Loader
failure, ending abnormally with code X'FFFF' and cause code
"000....4000'. I cannot apply this one or the other ones, I cannot
remove or delete them, I always get this error, so I am stuck now.
Searched up and down in manuals and found something about the
MFPTI-Index being corrupt or the marker PTFs have been damaged. OK. I
decided to reload the LIC from original CD-ROM to get rid of the
un-applied PTFs. This worked ok, re-applied the CUM-PTF, re-ipled,
system is ok. Loaded that MF30470 to avoid that SRC on IPL after the
HIPER-group, re-ipled, ok. Again the HIPER-group is loaded and system
again does not come up on the B-side. Again errors on INSPTF. I did
manual IPL from A, got to the work with PTFs screen and removed all PTFs
from 572999 that are not applied. Now I cannot load/apply MF-PTFs
anymore and cannot IPL from B-side, what the heck is going on here ?

Any help / idea appreciated.
BTW, a call with IBM is open, so let's see.

Regards from Germany, Philipp Rusch
