OFF SUBJECT, Those who work in SP environments might be interested....

Big problem we had when upgrading to ML9 last week, here is a resolution...

Flash sent 02/25/2002 - - Service Updates to RSCT

  Problem Description:
             When customers are doing service updates to PSSP 3.2
    and PSSP 3.4, the RSCT V1.2.x filesets are not being
    updated which is leading to pervasive problems due to
    PTF set mismatches between PSSP and RSCT.  This problem
    is due to the fact that RSCT is now in a separate service
    build environment and is no longer packaged with PSSP 3.2
    or PSSP 3.4.

        This problem has become more apparent when customers
    have upgraded PSSP 3.2 to PTF set 11 or higher.   In PTF
    set 11, PSSP 3.2 requires RSCT 1.2.1 rather than RSCT 1.2.0.

  Solution:
        When installing the latest service for PSSP 3.2 and
    PSSP 3.4 ensure you have also install the latest service
    for RSCT 1.2.1 or RSCT 2.2.0.  If you are updating PSSP 3.2
    to PTF Set 11 or higher apply RSCT  APAR IY20220.  If you
    are upgrading to PSSP 3.4 apply RSCT APAR IY25008.


02/19/2002 - Re-issue of flash sent 02/13/2002 - - AIX Service Upgrade
(ML09) for 4.3.3 Breaks SP Switch
 PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

  The AIX 4.3.3 APAR, IY27184 (which is in bos.net.tcp.client
  4.3.3.79), will cause IP over the SP switch and SP switch 2
  to fail.  When this problem happens IP traffic over the
  switch will no longer work (applications such as ping,
  telnet, and ftp will fail).  This issue only occurs in
  AIX 4.3.3.  AIX 5.1 is NOT affected as previously stated
  in a earlier release of this flash.

 RECOMMENDED ACTION:

  This problem can be resolved by backing-off the AIX APAR
  IY27184 or by applying the AIX fix for this problem.

 SOLUTION:

  AIX APAR IY28410 has been created to address this problem.
  It is recommended that customers do not apply IY27184 until
  the fix for IY28410 is also available.  If IY27184 is
  applied before the fix for IY28410 can be ordered, then
  IY27184 should be backed-off.

 The PSSP APAR IY28264 is being cancelled in order to
  avoid having to force requisites between AIX and PSSP
  service levels. There are no problems with the Efix that
  was briefly provided for IY28264 for customers running
  with IY27184 applied, but this efix will need to be backed
  off once the final AIX fix for this issue, IY28410, is
  applied,  It is recommended that switch customers do not
  apply IY27184 until the fix for IY28410 is available.
