Critical System Protection

Issue/Introduction

When a system running AIX 6.1 TL7 is upgraded to TL8, or AIX 7.1 TL1 is upgraded to TL2, the IPS driver causes the system to crash.

Cause

This issue is caused by an IBM kernel defect fixed by the APAR's listed below.

Resolution

SCSP 5.2.9 MP4 which was released on Dec 13, 2013 does support AIX 6.1 TL8 and AIX 7.1 TL2 if the following IBM iFixes are installed:

  1. AIX 6.1 TL8 APAR IV44968: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IV44968
  2. AIX 7.1 TL2 APAR IV46294: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IV46294

 


Applies To

 AIX 6.1 TL8

AIX 7.1 TL2

(use "oslevel -s" to find out the TL (Technology Level) -> an output of: 6100-08-02-1316, would suggest TL8)
