Re: 5733OPS - IBM i Open Source Solutions - new options

22 5733OPS PTFs applied.

I need advice on special instructions included with SI59978.
Which option should be run, 1, 2, or 3?

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR SE64317 :
-----------------------------------------------
The PTF installs Cloud-Init into 5733OPS option 9. It also ships
the scripts for downloading and installing the dependencies that
Cloud-Init needs for running.
CORRECTION FOR APAR SE64317 :
-----------------------------
After installing this PTF, one of the below commands should be
run for a completeness of Cloud-Init enablement.
1.
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/cloudinit/install/cloud-init-setup.s
h -download_and_install - Download and install the
dependencies. Do this when your IBM i is connecting to the
internet
2.
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/cloudinit/install/cloud-init-setup.s
h -download_only - Do this when you only want to download all
the dependencies.
3.
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/cloudinit/install/cloud-init-setup.s
h -install_only - Only install the dependencies. Do this when
you have already downloaded the dependencies to
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/cloudinit/install

There is also the option not to do anything, except if you want to set up the partition so that it can be captured by PowerVC.
Cloud-Init stuff is used when PowerVC deploys a partition based on a captured image, in a cloud environment. It runs after the deployment to perform specific configuration tasks, which are not covered by PowerVC.
PowerVC is expected to

* create the partition on the server
* update the VIOS to take care of this new partition
* create the volumes on the external storage device
* create the host configuration on the external storage device and
link it to the new volumes
* create the appropriate zoning in the SAN switches between the server
and the storage device
* perform a flashcopy from the image volumes to the new partition volumes
* activate the partition.

I do not see any reason to follow the cover letter if you are not in this situation.

This last document tries to explain how to do with the required RPMs if the partition cannot connect to internet.
