RE: PTF maintenance - WAS: IPL hangs at C900 2967

Actually, running the release independent *CUMPKG probably is a better 
idea than SF99540.  Thanks.

You won't find SF99540 at 
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.NSF/GroupPTFs?OpenView&Start=1&Count=30&Expand=2#2
That's for 'GROUP' ptfs.  While SF99540 shows up on WRKPTFGRP it's not on 
that website.  Latest cover letter is at
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.nsf/ALLPSPBYREL?OpenView&Start=1&Count=30&Expand=2#2

If the package doesn't exist then I am not sure what will happen.  IBM 
NEVER drops a package.  So you should probably catch it the first time you 
add a new package.

I should submit a DCR that IBM writes this.  The first part that it 
downloads is a new version of this so that they can add new ptf packages 
before it starts downloading those.

There might be an objection from IBM because this doesn't encourage you to 
read the ptf cover letter.  Which may say something like "Before 
installing this cume you might want to omit .... because it has a tendency 
to initialize your load source drive.  It will be omitted in a future 
package."  Now, I made that warning up, but you get the point.
