There's always the "nuclear" option.
First of all, order the latest resave of IBM i 7.1 from ESS.
For information on resave's see:
http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/i/planning/resave/index.html
In your case you want RS-710-S.
Follow the instructions "Replacing Licensed Internal Code and IBM i of the
same version and release" located at
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_71/rzahc/upgradesameversion.htm
These instructions are useful for those:
- Upgrading from V5R4M0 to V5R4M1
- Upgrading from 6.1.0 to 6.1.1
- Running early ship code who want to be on GA code.
- Who are running a really early version of the OS but want to be on the
latest TR's and whatnot but finding it a pain to get there.
- Have the dreaded "Link/Loader" issue.
I've done it a few times.
Treat it like you would an OS upgrade. IOW, if you do stuff like
CHGCMDDFT and all that you may have to do all that.
After you've done this, apply the latest cume and all groups. You may
even want to peruse "Recommended fixes" at
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/recommendedfixes
Scroll down to "Recommended for specific products or functions" and select
IBM i 7.1.
