Re: Firmware Updates

You can use the following (works better in iACS Run SQL Scripts) to really
check your group ptfs.
It will actually compare what you have on your system with what is
available at IBM.

With iLevel(iVersion, iRelease) AS
(
select OS_VERSION, OS_RELEASE from sysibmadm.env_sys_info
)
SELECT P.*
FROM iLevel, systools.group_ptf_currency P
WHERE ptf_group_release =
'R' *CONCAT* iVersion *CONCAT* iRelease *concat* '0'
ORDER BY ptf_group_level_available -
ptf_group_level_installed DESC;

Just checked.. I'm on the latest CUM PTF and all other groups are either
at the current level, or will be after the IPL.

I forget, what do you see in DSPFMWSTS for "Firmware update policy"?

That's what I thought too... but my firmware is several releases back,
yet I am relatively current on PTF groups.

I currently have several PTFs, including the firmware, set to apply a
next IPL (scheduled for Saturday morning).
