RE: No system console and TCP/IP down

Read the Knowledge Center at

You can replace "ibm_i_72" with "ibm_i_71" or 61 if you need to.

Expand this:
IBM i 7.2>IBM i and related software>Installing, upgrading, or deleting
IBM i and related software>Replacing Licensed Internal Code and IBM i of
the same version and release
Select
Replacing software of the same release using manual installation
You might be able to just do:
"Complete the tasks in Replacing the Licensed Internal Code "
and skip " Replacing the IBM i operating system".
You should do "Installing PTFs for the Licensed Internal Code and the
operating system ."

You will need a new I_BASE_01 cd. Make sure you have the latest "refresh"
or "resave".

For more information on "resave" see:
http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/i/planning/resave/index.html

To download a new I_BASE_01 cd you can get one from ESS or "Entitled
Systems Support" at
https://www-304.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ess/ProtectedServlet.wss

To get a copy of the latest cume ptf, and the latest group PTF's, see "Fix
Central" at:
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/

If you do not feel comfortable with this you may want to contract this
out. People like Pete Massieola (sp?) and Larry Bolhuis pay their bills
doing this stuff. I've done a little side work doing this myself.
