Re: latest hiper group

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK here is what I know after speaking to the supportline folks late 
yesterday.

First off the entire problem was with V5R3 (which nobody bothered to 
mention in the first place.....)
There is a new hiper group out (hiper15) for V5R3 which solves the problem.

The Problem?  Well if you had an i5 and you did NOT have your HMC 
connected to HMC port 1 and you put on one of the earlier hipers you 
could get hosed up (as in lose contact with your system).   The specific 
PTF you i5 people want is MH00133 which is one for the FSP and it's on 
the hiper.  IBM is also recommending that you get your HMC up to code 
level 4.2.   And if you are one of those i5 folks withOUT an HMC you 
were still exposed and should get this hiper group installed.  The Hiper 
was posted yesterday in the Group PTF page 
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.NSF/GroupPTFs?OpenView&Start=1&Count=30&Expand=1#1 
but didn't actually show up in Fix central until this morning.

In the future when posting 'DON'T DO THIS' sorts of things (like don't 
apply PTFs) I ask that you please be as specific as possible. It would 
have been nice to know that this was a V5R3 hiper/cume issue from the 
start.
